Info: VigLink is the easiest way to monetize your outbound links. You get paid when visitors click from your forum to a retailer and buy something. The VigLink analytics dashboard tells you which outbound links are clicked most, which are making you the most money, and more.
You've created something special. Your community is a place where people congregate to discuss their passion. It turns out they also make decisions about what to buy and where to buy it?and that's valuable. VigLink helps you capture this value, effortlessly.
In fact, VigLink is second only to AdSense as the most widely used monetization technology for vBulletin. Don't take our word for it, here's the breakdown.
This add-on will install the VigLink javascript on your forum, without the need to edit templates.
VigLink Convert
Your members are constantly posting links to retailers. If any go to over 35,000 retailers, VigLink will automatically convert them to monetized links that pay you a commission. Learn More >>
VigLink Insert
Forum threads often reference products, brands, and retailers. VigLink can automatically link these references, making sure they always go to the most valuable destination. Learn More >>
Controls
Version 2.0 now gives more control over how VigLink runs on your site. You can enable or disable VigLink Convert and VigLink Insert for specific user groups and forums.
Samir is correct in that VigLink link affiliation is very unobtrusive. The experience of a visitor on your site won't change if you are affiliating your outbound links using VigLink.
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:
Hi there -- Anna here w/ VigLink. If you are testing the two solutions, we recommend you test each separately because the two services act on links within your content in a similar way (and both are javascript add-ons). Long-term, it's rare (if not non-existent) that a site would run both in parallel.
Let us know if we can be of help in getting you set-up -- or answering any other integration / testing questions!
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?
Yes, Anna here again and I am with VigLink. In the scenario you describe above they will be able to run alongside each other -- the implementations are distinct and will not interfere with one another.
Let me know if we can help with anything else (or if you ever want to test VigLink on your full site)!
