Hi,
is this possible with this MOD to define Keywords and links to products on Amazon
and Ebay and
if there are words in the postings they will be automatically
linked to the product links with my affiliate code on
Amazon and Ebay ?

I want to have something like

http://www.zintext.com/

but as these companies take a share of the affiliate
codes and one does not know, if they really only
take 20 % or more or shave more, I would like
to have something like this done myself.

So how can we have contextuals ads done ourself, so we get
100 % of the affiliate sales from Ebay and Amazon, when a user
clicks the keyword in the posted text ?

Many thanks.

Regards, Stefan.

Does not support turning links on a page into an ad.

I highly recommend viglink for that since it eliminates changing the links on your sites and I earn several hundred a month from them for no extra work.

Hmm,
I wonder what part Viglink gets...
Maybe they just put in their own affiliate code,
when someone buys an expensive item on Amazon
and then they get much more money than you will
get, if they put only your affiliate code in,
when someone buys a low cost item ?

5 % of 3000 US$ ( e.g. for a ne TV set) is of course much
more than just 5 % of a 10 US$ item...


So I wonder, if it will make not more sense to have a script,
that automatically tags keywords in forum postings with affiliate links
to products on Amazon and/or Ebay.

As I both have myself Affiliate IDs for Amazon and Ebay, I wonder,
how I could do this best...
Maybe I should hire a programmer, that will
do such a script for me ?

The problem I only see, is that affiliate links get outdated after some
time, so this script must also search from time to time
for new affiliate products.

This php script could change the postings on the forum
permanently inside the database, so it must not work on the fly.


Or do you still think, that Viglink still does a better job ?

How do you know, that they really only subtract a small fee
from your affiliate earnings ?
Do you get paid by them or directly from Amazon and Ebay ?

Many thanks.

I tried doing manually links in the past just so time consuming and viglink supports many many merchants at once just add code to the site and it checks all links for merchant support. Amazon,ebay big players are supported. Before i used to get a couple sales here and there now it is an extra $700 a month which is nice.
Also check out Skimlinks and see how they compare
