Administrative and Maintenance Tools - VigLink

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.

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?

[bandit022]

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.

Hello,

We are reaching out as we noticed you are still using the DrivingRevenue JavaScript, and unfortunately this feature will no longer be supported after July 1st, 2012, due to changes outside of our control.

So, we very much need for you to implement the VigLink JavaScript on satelliteguys.us and use this instead of the DrivingRevenue JavaScript. After July 1, clicks will not affiliate through the DrivingRevenue JavaScript, and you may get errors as a result of its use. We expect that you will see performance improvements from using the VigLink JavaScript anyway, so this move should be beneficial for multiple reasons.

If you have any questions, please let us know. Otherwise, you can obtain the VigLink JavaScript bootstrap by navigating to the Install tab of your dashboard and installing it directly onto your sites by pasting it just before the closing body tag in the site's HTML.

Thank you in advance and we appreciate your attention to this important update.

Best,

Brian

I can not find that I am running any of the old Driving Revenue script, the only script I am running is the one inserted by this plugin.

Does this Plugin need to be updated?

[SamirDarji]

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.

[GamBun]

Cannot import for 4.2.x yet. Please let us know ETA on update???

[SamirDarji]

I'd go to Viglink's web site and let them know. I don't think they get on here much.
