I am not sure if you have followed the links for these magazines that are posted here on the Money Saving Expert Forums. If you have not, try searching for them here and following the links.

The connection has timed out

The server at comps.marieclaire.co.uk is taking too long to respond.

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Ok, that's odd ... have you cleared your cache recently?

Hopefully someone more technical will know what's wrong now you've posted what happens when you click the links

What anti-virus/malware programme are you using?
What browser are you using?
Are you broadband or dial-up?
When was the last time you ran a virus/malware scan?
Off the top of my head I would say you had a malware infection which is blocking your access to certain sites.
If you don't have anti-malware installed then it is worth doing so as when you are visiting so many sites to enter competitions you can pick up all sorts of stuff you don't want. Your anti-virus is not enough to protect you.
For the time being, don't try to connect to any more sites until you clean your system out.
