Well all know there are hundreds of ad systems out there, and very rarely does any system have a new spin that is worthy of any real note, but this one is kind of cool. VigLink is a new system with a cool twist that makes covering a lot of ground very simple. VigLink was founded by, and is financially backed by, some big players in the industry.
The concept is a good one. Your average ad publisher could spend his entire life subscribing to every affiliate program around, building links and stores and all that, which makes for time consuming tasks of building them, watching reports, managing to keep ads current and all that. What VigLink does is affiliate themselves with these people, and a bit of code on your web site tracks all site-exiting clicks and action that results from it. If the visitor clicks through to a site that VigLink is affiliated with it tracks and pays out according to actions, purchases and the like.
I have been using it for a few weeks now, and while it isn't something that is going to make me a fortune, it is a cool way for a few extra dollars in backfill money from links that would otherwise just be a visitor leaving the site. I really don't have the time or interest in affiliating with every site that my site has an exit link for, for the measly few cents it would get me, but, combine many of these "not worth it for a few cents" affiliates into one tracking code and one reporting system, suddenly it ads up to a few dollars from one place.
The final beauty of the system is that it is completely transparent to the visitor, no ads, no popups, no interstitial ads or anything, just a quiet background script watching them click around.
If it sounds good to you, check it out for yourself, VigLink.
