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.

Any former Driving Revenue users notice that payments continue to slip from month-to-month since the acquisition by Viglink? I used to get payments every month on the 20th. That continues to slip...last month it was the 26th...this month, I have yet to receive my payment (and it is the 29th).

Does viglink convert Etsy.com links? I am looking for a way to monetize these links. My members post lots of things from Etsy.

No, according to the Viglink "Merchant Coverage" tool. Are you sure Etsy.com even has an affiliate program? I looked on their site and it doesn't look like they do.

etsy doesn't have an affiliate program. someone needs to convince them to make one.

This mod does not seem to work. I checked on the site and it says its been installed when I enter my domain names but...

I see no links being affiliated. Running VB4.1PL2

[oldford]

Octavius, see my post #30 in this thread. The links won't show as affiliated when you hover over them, but they are getting converted.
