Show HN: Affililink - An automated way to monetise your site

6 pointsby makethetickalmost 14 years ago
Hi all,<p>This past month I have been working on Affililink, a way for blog and forum owners to monetise their site without the need to display adverts.<p>With a small javascript snippet, Affililink will scan all outbound links and where possible, add your affiliate code, effectively automating your affiliate scheme.<p>The idea came to me when I noticed a number of users post ebay links on a forum I manage. As ebay runs an affiliate scheme, I soon realised these links could help cover the running costs of the site.<p>I'd love to hear your feedback on this as it's my first serious project launch.<p>Thanks,<p>Dean<p>http://affililink.com

So, how would you compare your site with <a href="http://www.viglink.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.viglink.com/</a> or <a href="http://skimlinks.com/" rel="nofollow">http://skimlinks.com/</a>?<p>Edit: Never mind. I posted this before checking out your site. I see that you provide the Javascript to perform the URL rewriting but require webmasters to register separately with affiliate programs. A very different model than Viglink or Skimlinks ;-)

Which affiliate schemes does it work with?<p><a href="http://affililink.com/how-it-works" rel="nofollow">http://affililink.com/how-it-works</a> gives a 404 error.

I clicked the big "View Tour" button and the site returned a 404 error...might want to look into that.
