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:
This is what I need, I don't want to drive away my loyal members with the appearance of more links, I'm using the link insertion and I'd only like it to be available to guests.
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?
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.
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!
