I have installed VigLink on my 4.02 (Problem?) forum, now.
So far, if I post a public 'normal' link to a merchant, the target link will be not converted if I click on it. Do I have to wait some time to bring this system to work?

regards,
Jimmy

LOL I was checking to see if the links actually get affiliated and I was looking for my personal Amazon affiliate link and after a while I understood you guys are using your own links and giving me a share of the profit LMAO

One question though;

www.wisehyip.com when you look at the bottom right I've added the Links monetized by VigLink like I'm supposed to do, but when I mouseover the link it just says: http://www.viglink.com/corp/ftc?vgtag=badge shouldn't it be saying http://www.viglink.com/?vgref=9350 like I see in my account ?

Or does it happen one some other way?
I took a look at your site and could not find the badge. However the vgref and affiliation takes place at click time, so until the link is click, you wouldn't see the vgref

It says "Your API key:" and then nothing to the right.

How do I obtain my number?


The API Key should be in the account page once you login to VigLink.com If you are still having issues, please contact us at support@viglink.com

Our payment terms state the following:
Quote:
When do I get paid?
Payments are made on or after the 25th of each month. You are paid for the previous month's Net 30 amount and the two month prior Net 60 amount. For example, the payment made October 25th includes the Net 30 amount from September and the Net 60 amount from August. These amounts can be seen on the calendar report page.
We haven't sent out payments on the 20th since eBay changed their payout date to the 25th, which was in April of 2009.

November's payment was after the 25th because of our Thanksgiving break.

The links are converted into affiliate links once the link is clicked.

this doesn't take adsense revenue from the owner does it?

oldford 12-13-2010 04:23 AM
It's not related to Adsense, so no it won't affect your Adsense earnings.

DrivingRevenue 12-15-2010 03:27 PM
Oldford is exactly right. This has no impact on adsense of other forms of advertising

what's the benefits over just adding the DR code in our footer like we've been doing for years?

primary benefit is the ease of install, specifically, with this mod there is no need to edit footer templates in multiple styles. Also, there is no need to add the tag to the footer every time a new style is added.

I use master styles, I only add it once :)

thanks for clearing things up :up:

VL and vbSEO work fine together.


As far as payment methods for VigLink (DrivingRevenue is a little different), a PayPal payment will be sent to the email address you registered with. If that email address is not associated with a PayPal account, Paypal provides a simple way to associate it with your existing PayPal account.

According to previous posts, you get the proof when you click the link.

There are a few FireFox plugins that will let you see what's going on when you click the link.

Use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6647/
or http://www.getfirebug.com

Digital Jedi 01-11-2011 03:38 AM
Alright then, I'll try it. Wasn't real happy with previous affiliate programs I tried. But this is easy enough to implement.

Digital Jedi 01-11-2011 04:41 AM
Note that when you test a link, because JavaScript doesn't run from inside AJAX posts, you wouldn't get an affiliated link when you click through unless you refreshed the page. Other users, would generate the referral link normally, though, on page load.

captainslater 01-21-2011 10:07 AM
Do you support some german affiliate programs like Amazon.de or affili.net?

What's the difference between DrivingRevenue and VigLink? Is VigLink just the newest version/add-on?

VigLink is a Google backed company that acquired Driving Revenue on August 1st, 2010. For details about the acquisition, Click Here

I am a legacy DrivingRevenue customer who is now with VigLink. I make good money every month with this program. Absolutely LOVE IT! No ads to annoy my users and no work required on my part.

As long as your site contains links that can be affliated, you can benefit!

Hawkmaster 02-01-2011 06:22 PM
Installed and look forward to seeing the benefits:)

I am on Driving Revenue now and doing ok with it... should I switch over to Viglink or can I run them both?

wraggster 02-03-2011 01:27 AM
i went direct to the vigilink site and got the website code from there, ive installed it into a Global ad space on my forum, will that be good enough or do i need to import a plugin etc

also do you have a massive list of what merchants you cover, i see the obviuos ones like Amazon but who else ?

Booyakan 02-05-2011 07:55 PM
If I am buying from these merchants myself, is it ok to set up links on my site, and click through and buy them with viglink?

Because we are not supposed to buy through our own links for most merchants...But they are actually turned into YOUR links correct?

I initially signed up with DR, and I haven't changed the code as far as I can remember and now everthing is with VL. Your DR revenue login will work on the VL site.

This is a very good point. Although you have to realize that VL will be getting the bulk of that commission and you'll be paid for a normal link. I think that's the whole way they're able to make money.

I do realize they would get the bulk, but at least I would still get something back, instead of nothing... Just waiting on their answer I guess..

I'd recommend leaving it as is, we're migrating Driving Revenue publishers in batches. Once it's your turn, you'll be notified via email. There's isn't anything you'll need to do, we handle the entire migration on our side.

I'm not familiar with the Global ad space, but the code needs to be in the footer before the closing </body> tag. PM me a link to your site and I can verify that it's working correctly.

Log into your VigLink account, click Tools and then Merchant Coverage.

It is against the merchant Terms of Service to knowingly make purchases yourself for the benefit of a discount.

Not really sure what you're trying to say, or what "VL will be getting the bulk of that commission and you'll be paid for a normal link." means.

As standard practice, we pay out 75% of the revenue and keep 25%

I don't see a button to re-link all old links, will it do this automatically or what?

It does everything transparently and on-the-fly. So all your old links are automatically converted when they're clicked. Pretty slick actually.

does this plug in work with the latest VB? 4.1.1 (well that mine )

Jampal 02-28-2011 06:27 PM
I am in he Edit options of the Viglink product in my Cpanel yet can find no where at all to "Enter the API key". No idea where, how or when I "add this" or to what?

If anyone could help I would be most grateful.

Regards,
James.

Jampal 02-28-2011 06:55 PM
For anyone that struggles to find this, you enter the API key down the VBulletin, Options menu and NOT in the product menu.

James.

Yes it does

I just signed up, though I don't expect to make much from it (my site doesn't link much material goods).

I will say though, I used the code given from sign-up page initially and placed it at the bottom (above </body>) of my SHOWTHREAD template. I used the url-checker and it said there was nothing there... I tried several URL's (each one being a thread).

Now I've installed the plugin instead, found the API and pasted it in - all works well.

As I said, I don't expect to make much due to the lack of purchasable content on my site, but if it adds a few quid a year it's better than nothing.
