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. Tested On: 4.2.0 3.8.7 Installation Instructions

There's no real UI to speak of, so screenshots wouldn't be very exciting. It's very much like this Google Analytics add-on in terms of how it affects your forum -- Admins get a very simple options page where they can enter their VigLink API key; Users see no change at all.
As far as a demo, there's a basic demo on VigLink.com, where you can see plain links being automatically affiliated. No members have liked this post.

I've never heard of VigLink. Who are the owners and what are their credentials?
Frankly, this add-on seems less like a vBulletin add-on and more like spam and self-promotion for VigLink.

I see you bought drivingrevenue.com. How does this viglink exactly work?
1. Does the forum have to have links pointing to supported merchants to work or will it overwrite any links to external products with a Viglink supported merchant affiliate id? 2. How does this play with adsense?

To answer your questions, 1. There are no special VigLink merchant links to use. You (and your users) link wherever you would normally link. When a visitor clicks an external link, our javascript checks to see if that link can be affiliated. If it can be, we affiliate it on the fly. Any time we see a link that's already affiliated, we leave it alone. (If you prefer, you can tell us to overwrite those existing affiliate links in your account settings). 2. We have lots of users using VigLink and AdSense together, and we aren't aware of any problems. No members have liked this post.

Frankly, I'm not sure. We've only tested it on 4.x. I'll look into setting up a 3.x test forum. If you decide to give it a try on 3.8.6 and find that it works, please let us know!

VigLink doesn't insert anything into your pages (no ads, no links). We just find unaffiliated links, and affiliate them for you.

Supports Versions 3.6 and up.
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.
