Advertisers and Products
It is the huge network with over 50000 advertisers and 500M+ products. I did not see any other affiliate network with these number of advertisers. It is partnered with almost all retail stores like Amazon and all other digital products and services.
It has Cost Per Click, Cost Per Action, and Cost Per Sale advertisers. But most of them cost Per Sale products. If your website or niche cannot make sales, you will earn less compare to Infolinks. But if your website depends on affiliate marketing, you will make the good income with this network. If you don’t find the affiliate program for any one of the advertisers, you better search in VigLink, there is a chance that you will find the affiliate program.
Approval Process
VigLink does not approve small blogs. There is no guarantee to get approval. My tech blog did not get approval in initial days. But later they have approved my blog.
The best part is, you need not get approval from individual advertisers. You are pre-approved for almost all advertisers. Of course, there might be some advertisers from which you need to get manual approval. My application was rejected from some advertisers in other affiliate networks. Still, I am using the same advertiser’s affiliate links from VigLink.

Sign up to VigLink. Fill all details.
Log in to your VigLink dashboard. Go to Manage -> Account. Select Add a Campaign. Give Full details about your website.
Go to Manage -> Install. Copy the code and paste in your theme header or footer. If you use Genesis Framework, you will get the direct option in your WordPress dashboard Genesis -> Settings.
You will see an option to check the code installation in VigLink dashboard. But it did not work properly for me. It showed that I did not install the code correctly. But my application was approved after some days.
Wait for some days to get approval. You will receive mail about the approval.
