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.
It depends on how you use it. I've been picking up a little extra revenue here and there which is supplementing my Adsense, text link and banner ad income. So, every little bit helps :up:
I'm just installing this now to see how it goes, adsense kicked out my site for some reason they can't explain to me becasue of their security policy so this will hopefully be a good replacement.
Is this is official viglink platform? I signed on with Driving Revenue and was very happy with them as they jumped to be my #3 revenue source ... so far not working with viglink and revenue is down 90%. I hope this version plug-in will fix everything.
I am a VigLink employee as well. We just tested it successfully on 3.6 and up, so you are good to go with 3.8.6.
To save folks from reading through several pages of posts and/or make this mod easier to find, I would suggest the coder: 1)Add a similar mod for the vb v3 section of vB.org or, 2)State the fact that this version works with vB v3 in the mod description.
Personally I never look at the vB v4 section on vB.org, because I don't run it and so few mods are backwards compatible with v3. I only arrived here thanks to an external link from the VigLink website.
Suggestion: It would be nice if this MOD allowed the Admin to pick the VigLink Badge to display, as well as it's location, on their pages from the http://www.viglink.com/policies/ftc page, or similar.
