Am I supposed to receive paid mail, or am I supposed to click on the website, or what? I have no idea!

No you don't get mail. You have to go to the site, log in, click on links page (it's listed on the right) and visit the links from there. You should see the timer while visiting if you don't then you aren't logged in.

Oh, yeah, found it, thanks!

Gee, I really have to wait 15 seconds before clicking another link? Sigh...
any easy way?

Nope Not to my knowledgeat least. But I've just done them and it didn't take that long really. After the timer's up just click on back to links page (it'll replace the timer). I just made 12c so it's not bad.
