Sovrn //Commerce

Formerly VigLink, Sovrn //Commerce automatically monetizes outbound links across 60,000+ merchants for publishers and bloggers.

VigLink launched in 2009 and was acquired by Boulder, Colorado based Sovrn in 2018, becoming Sovrn //Commerce. It automatically converts unmonetized product mentions and outbound links into affiliate links, connecting publishers to a network of more than 60,000 merchants including major retailers. The tool is aimed at content sites that want passive commerce revenue.

Affiliates can earn on a cost-per-action basis for eligible sales or a cost-per-click basis for clicks to participating merchants. Sovrn pays monthly with a low $25 threshold, using PayPal or bank transfer, and $50 for international wire. It fits publishers who prefer automated link monetization over managing individual programs.
