Sovrn

Sovrn (formerly VigLink) is a monetization platform that automates affiliate marketing for publishers. Its "Commerce" tool automatically converts normal product links (like "iPhone") in your content into affiliate links. If a user clicks and buys, the publisher earns a commission. This saves creators the time of signing up for individual affiliate programs.

In addition to commerce, Sovrn offers a header bidding ad exchange for display advertising. It is a legitimate, tech-heavy platform used by major publishers to maximize the value of every link and impression. It simplifies monetization for forums, blogs, and editorial sites.
