Tumblr to roll out affiliate links across all users’ blogs
« on: September 10, 2016, 12:14:38 PM »
VigLink worked to connect about 55,000 merchants to Tumblr’s site, the company says. When blog visitors click one of these new links, they’re taken to a merchant’s website, where they may then make a purchase. In that case, Tumblr will show up as the referrer and then receive the commission.

Absolutely zero value to the merchants here. The links were there already there and generating visits and now the merchant has to pay for them? Nah, I think we will be opting out of that one. Same with the deal they made with Reddit.
