Viglink, good, bad or zero effect?

Good morning,

I have just added a WebWiz hosted forum to my web site as a place to talk about products that I sell on my main sites and a new web service that I hope to go live with very soon (all hosted here).

Whilst the forum has NOT been created as source of revenue from advertising, I am not averse to a bit of extra cash, so I have enabled the Viglink functionality.

I am curious about how Viglink works in practice, this post is a good example, Viglink is highlit a number of times.

For example; does it find lots of words in posts and make them links to USA based businesses that have little or no relevance to UK users, or maybe someone has decided that it is better to turn it off because it makes the forum look amateurish?

Why I am wondering is that looking at my Viglink account, it is in dollars, although it recognises my account as UK, and it wants proof that I am not a US tax payer, none of this seems "normal" for a scheme that has a lot of UK based business.

Initially I was going to say that Webwiz don't appear to use it on this forum, but having reviewed this post I see that Viglink has become a link, so they clearly do:-).

Bye and thanks for any thoughts

Ian
