I'm just coming to the end of an experiment I ran skimlinks for 2 weeks and i'm just coming to the end of 2 weeks with viglink, unless something comes through over the next week to increase the revenue from viglink it wil not beat the revenue from skimlinks.

I migrated from Driving revenue to Viglink and from what the dashboard is saying its much better. Couple of questions though...
Given I migrated, I previously had the code stripped into my template manually, does this download above just do the same thing? Am I ok staying on what Im on? Secondly, I noticed you can potentially get paid for commissions on ebay sales, saw this at the bottom of the dashboard. How do I get paid for this? I ask as it shows some people buying items that were linked via my site yet no comissions? My site is ausjeepoffroad.com |
ebay commissions were broken and I dropped 90% in revenue from Driving Revenue. Did this get fixed?
Skimlinks is a worthless joke. I was making like $1 per day. |
Question VigLink, if someone clicks one of your links, but they buy a different product at that time, will you still earn a commission or do they have to buy the specific product to be able to earn that commission?
Also lets say the person clicks the link but they don't buy the product now, but they end up buying it on a later time, do you still get commission for the original referral? Thanks in advance! |

Some of the sites for viglink you have to manually send them an email to get approved for but there is no list to tell you which ones. I had to do it for ebay, then I checked walmart and saw that also wasn't covered so I just disabled it. Who knows what merchants you get covered for and which ones you don't. They should be upfront about this or at least have a list that tells you which ones you are approved for. See for yourself.. go to http://www.viglink.com/tools/coverage and type in http://www.ebay.com You will get: "That merchant is covered, but not for everyone. Links from your site will not be affiliated unless access has been granted by the merchant. If you'd like to request access, please email us." Viglink, please make it easier to see which merchants are covered. |
Wow. I"m glad I read this thread. That's why my revenue dropped. It's eBay. E-mail sent!

Installed but encountering huge headaches with the Viglink IRS form - unless this is filled in properly I understand that Viglink will make no payments, correct? I'm based in Europe, as an individual rather than a corporation (W-8 ECI ??). I have to fill in the address for American business and tax id number on the Viglink IRS form... are these details supposed to be Viglink business details? If so, please post a link so I know I input them correctly. I am completely unfamiliar with the US tax system and have never had to fill out anything like this before with other affiliate programs. A quick dummies guide through would be helpful.
Thanks in advance, D |
I'd get in touch with viglink as I'm not sure how the US tax reporting would be for a European company. If you talk to Julian, tell him Samir says hi. :)

How would we use this for guests only?

If you have VigLink link insertion turned on, and would like inserted links to only appear for guests (and not registered users), you can add class="nolinks" to any page element to disable inserted links. This can be done on an individual post basis or at the page level by adding it to the body tag <body class="nolinks"> On vBulletin, you can take advantage of the yahoo dom event js to add the class name from a footer conditional. For example: <if condition="(!$show['guest'])"> $footer .= '<script type="text/javascript"> YAHOO.util.Event.onDOMReady( function() { YAHOO.util.Dom.addClass( document.body, "nolinks" ); } ); </script>'; </if> Hope this helps! |
I just submitted an email to Viglink. Unsure of all links being affiliated cause I just have Viglink enabled for Tapatalk sites.
EDIT: Viglink reponds quickly and everything is setup perfectly. Thanks. |
can you run this and skimlinks at the same time?
|
Does exactly as advertised thank for the perfectly simple addon!

Let us know if we can be of help in getting you set-up -- or answering any other integration / testing questions! Cheers, Anna |
Anna are you from the company? If so I have a question it's not really related to this mod, well more about your product.
I run skimlinks on the main site but have viglinks associated with tapatalk, are they able to run alongside each other like that? |

Let me know if we can help with anything else (or if you ever want to test VigLink on your full site)! Best, Anna |
vBulletin 4.1.10
Not Working for my ... http://up.marocinoh.net/images/sanstitre1.png http://up.marocinoh.net/images/sanstitre2.png |

Sucks that it wont work with 3.8.7
|
Setting for using viglinks to particular forums?
G! |
Doesn't seem to be working on vbulletin 4.1.11 Patch Level 1
API key is correct in my settings but VigLink's installation check still says "VigLink was not detected" Any ideas? |
Nevermind. The installation check is now showing it to be installed correctly. I suppose it takes a while to start working?
|
Is there a conditional I can use so it excludes the reputation link in the postbit legacy? We're using it on a vb 3.6.8 forum and it breaks the javascript from e-steki Karma version 2.2 in Opera. Thanks.

I use this Plugin... was on Driving Revenue but switched over to this plugin and removed the old Driving Revenue Plugin a long time ago.
Anyways tonight I got the following email from Viglink. Quote:
Does this Plugin need to be updated? |
Yes, this plugin probably needs to be updated. Viglink bought out Driving Revenue a long time ago. I'd update the code to the current one from the Viglink site and you'll be good to go. :)
|
Cannot import for 4.2.x yet. Please let us know ETA on update???
|
I'd go to Viglink's web site and let them know. I don't think they get on here much.
|
Installed thank you!

I've got a question, on which template(s) would I insert the class="nolinks" code, and where? And this would not affect any manual link posted by members, correct? Only the VigLink insertion? Thanks |
If you could come up with a version of this plugin which lets me specify the usergroups for the Viglink Insert that would be great and I would enable Viglink Insert on my sites.
But there are usergroups I don't want to see links, but other usergroups I do want them to see them. I do however want Viglink convert on for the entire site. |
Hi there - Oliver D from VigLink here. Scott, this is a common request, and thanks for raising it. We've actually built this into the vBulletin 5 integration. For vB4, your best option is to email us at support@viglink.com so we can discuss some customization options.
|
i`ll give it a go an if i earn nothing i`ll just uninstall as i do use the ebay partner network adds too
|
Downloaded. Installed. 3.8.7pl3
Thanks! |
Great news! We've just released Version 2.0 of the VigLink Mod. We now offer enhanced controls. For example, forums can now enable or disable VigLink Insert for specific user groups, such as guests or registered users. The same goes for VigLink Convert, and control also extends to specific forum IDs. Download and install the new mod to get these enhanced controls and let us know what you think. Thanks!
|
Cool just updated thanks!
|
Rick - can you do an update for 3.8 please?
