Skimlinks better than viglinks?

[EQnoble]

they have one?

I don't need one myself--I just put it into the right template and I'm done.

So far it is paying off nicely. I'm working on building out other websites I've let sit, so I can take advantage of more outbound links.

 

[EQnoble]

Sounds good.....

BTW

I forgot I made this....

Don't you hate when that happens? I really should convert my Viglinks code into a plugin, but since I've gotten some paying work in here, I haven't had time to mess with it. I am going to make my own for it--I need to learn how to do it here in XF.

 

[EQnoble]

you can use the addon I posted to do that

grab your viglink api key from: http://www.viglink.com/users/install while logged in.
copy the code on that page

edit the xxaD_js template to read:

<script type="text/javascript">
var vglnk = { api_url: '//api.viglink.com/api',
key: '******************************'};

(function(d, t) {
var s = d.createElement(t); s.type = 'text/javascript'; s.async = true;
s.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? vglnk.api_url :
'//cdn.viglink.com/api') + '/vglnk.js';
var r = d.getElementsByTagName(t)[0]; r.parentNode.insertBefore(s, r);
}(document, 'script'));
</script>

test your domain by typing it in the field at that page you grabbed the api key from.

I should probably rewrite the instructions on the addon page to be more clear...thanks for bringing that to my attention

I wasn't happy that someone with a @viglinks email address registered on my forum for the sole purpose of soliciting me.

I can confirm they are getting fairly aggressive in marketing their product...

 

[EQnoble]

I don't use the ads...i just needed an addon to make...I wasn't aware of this.

Is skimlinks still as lightweight as it was when I made the mod.? I still have it on my server but haven't seen or heard from them except for the occasional hi are you still alive email that most sites with a mailing list do...so I really don't know.

Does anyone know what viglinks means/stands for? Skimlinks seem reasonably straight forward..

Every time I see 'viglinks' I think of an entirely different product

Dean, that is too funny.

I don't know what it means either but now that you said that I am going to be thinking viagra links every time I log in to check my Viglink stats.

That is also funny but that is not what I thought of when I read Dean's post...

your interpretation brings new meaning to popups...

...thanks for this..I needed a laugh...I just got back in after locking my keys in the house.

Just wait till the popups start showing up in 3D. With the way television is advancing it won't be long till the web is in 3D.

I am curious now to the interpretation that I missed LOL.

It's probably better I not be the one to say it aloud here ;-)

As far as 3d web goes...I don't think it's too far at all...

Thanks for the mental image of hotlinked hair pictures.

"Vig" or vigorish is the percentage taken by a bookmaker.

"Is it him? Or his Google"? Only his computer knows for sure!

Actually, I did know it, but I also verified it before posting.

Clever

I cannot find good comparison between VigLink and Skimlinks. So I apply both of them. For my sites.
And I make a comparison for you.
