VigLink · **Released**: 04-26-2010

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.

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.

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.

Tested On:

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.

Alright then, I'll try it. Wasn't real happy with previous affiliate programs I tried. But this is easy enough to implement.

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.

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?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
