Edu-IT Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) Why do some EduGeek hyperlinks in posts go through api.viglink.com? Edited May 24, 2011 by ZeroHour

ZeroHour Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Not all links, it should only be ones that have referrals. Viglink basically add our referral id onto the link so if it was say pointing to amazon we would get commission from a sale. We are testing 2 currently, viglink is enabled but the other is vbulletin based skimlinks. I think we will probably go back to skim tbh. Hope that clears it up.
