JayX Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I've not used it before, so made an account, retrieved my key and enabled it for my board but I'm not seeing anything and the VigLink site tells me it can't be detected. If I put the code in manually in a post, the site picks it up and says it's fine. So I'm wondering - does it work for anyone else? or am I doing something wrong?
Mark Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Hm... sounds odd. If you submit a support request, one of the team will take a look at your community to see what's happening
JayX Posted March 24, 2015 Author Posted March 24, 2015 Thanks Mark, didn't want to go to that extent if it was a known not working element. I'll pop a ticket in.
MSUKForum Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 I'm wondering if you know the soloution to this, as I have the same problem? At the moment, I just embed the Viglink code myself.
abetts Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Not so sure about Viglink. It's been enabled on my site for some time, it's clearly working from the stats below but it seems all my traffic to them is for free?
abetts Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 Over 250k page views, over 900 clicks, not a penny. Is this a scam?

Kjell Iver Johansen Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 I upgraded a week ago to 4.0.13. After upgrade I now notice that the income is down to zero. Viglink API field was empty (in ACP). I hope that enabling that field helps!
NordWulf Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 I have it on a vB forum since April of this year and averaged about $120 a month. However.. For October so far, it only brought in $3.50. Something seems wrong.
abetts Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 I've contacted Viglink support to ask them what's up. I'll log a ticket with IPS as they must have a relationship with the company to build it into the software...

If the script is working on your page, I'm afraid there is not much we can do.
abetts Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 If other forum admins are reporting the issues as above, is there no chance that there's a problem with the integration? I thought it would be worth you guys taking a look at?
abetts Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 From Viglink... Quote Thank you for the email. We've checked your account, and we do not see anything amiss. We define a strong conversion rate as about 1%, so you likely should have seen a handful of affiliated clicks generate revenue -- though, again, it may still take more time as you continue to ramp up and gain more clicks. I would suggest not thinking of it as all clicks occurring "for free" -- not all affiliated clicks result in actions. I have noticed the majority of your clicks are going to pistonheads.com -- and so if this merchant isn't converting well for your campaign, it might be a good idea to test linking out to other merchants covered by our system. So although I'm not getting paid for any of the traffic, it's not free I think I'll go back to Skimlinks!
socceronly Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 I turned it on with two sites, can't even get any page views. 4.0.13.1 Added the API key ect...
socceronly Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Should you have to enter the API key and the Secret? I see the secret in the account on Viglink, but no place to enter it on my AdminCP. Had to disable/enable to get the API key form to appear at all..... maybe it's still missing something.

I had to do the same thing: disable and re-enable the account just to see the API Key in the settings.

I did, but should it just be the API key or the secret too? I only see the API key. In a Payment Gateway you have both to enter. I can see a secret on the Account at VigLink.
Kjell Iver Johansen Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 I notice on my site - that when a user try to link to a site about backsacks - gossamergear The link is then linked to another site - using avantlink. - ref picture When I turn off Viglink this is not happening and the link is OK. This is actually not very good at all. When i put the link here at IPS - the link is OK, but I don't know if they are using Viglink here. Anyway - I will be careful using it anymore
motomac Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Is there any easy way to enable Viglink in all forums by one click?
Brian K. Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 VigLink hasn't worked for us either the last two weeks and I had to open a support ticket with them today only to find out they're off for the holidays. So I guess we'll be switching to Skimlink.
abetts Posted September 10, 2016 Posted September 10, 2016 I've been running Viglink for some time and have accumulated a decent amount of commission but it's not being paid. I've used their support system and emailed them but they're not getting back to me. Has anyone actually been paid out by them?
