Referral Trackers what am I doing wrong?
I have read the learning center guide and many hubs on using referral trackers. I am starting to feel like a complete idiot! For example- I attempted to insert a tracker in a tweet- once I sent my tweet I went to my twitter account @youknowmeasCyn and while it still links to HubPages- it links to my profile not the intended article then shows plain text where I though I was inserting the tracker.... Am I just stupid or technically challenged? I appreciate any responses!
Here is info about the referral code.

Trying to see if I understand this correctly. The trackers only work from outside of HP, correct? So if I have a new affiliate tracker on my profile page or in a hub, it's worthless to me, right? And if I link from one of my hubs to someone else's via a traffic tracker, again, it does me no good,...
