Skimlinks and Merchants

Skimlinks is a publisher service,
but we're here to add value to merchants in everything we do

Overview Merchant FAQs

The innovative player in affiliate marketing

Creating and maintaining affiliate links manually has traditionally been time-consuming and error-prone. Reporting, revenue reconciliation and optimization have also always been difficult across multiple networks, preventing many high-quality publishers from engaging in affiliate marketing.

Skimlinks has proven to be a disruptive influence in the space, taking all the pain and effort out of affiliate marketing and enlarging the market by introducing all kinds of publishers with product-focused content to affiliate marketing for the first time.

We're working to change affiliate marketing into a more accessible, more adopted form of monetization, to the benefit of all players in the eco-system.

  • More mentions of merchants and their products
  • More links to your site
  • More purchase opportunities
  • More incremental sales

What Skimlinks offers merchants

We create an ecosystem that encourages publishers to write about merchants and their products more often. Our technology lets them focus on what they do best, creating content and fostering communities, leaving the task of monetizing that content to us.

Our technology unleashes the latent purchase intent in content, creating more links to your site and bringing you more incremental sales.

Our products include:

SkimLinks
Acts like an outsourced affiliate marketing solution for publishers.

SkimWords
Turns product references into incremental links to your site, creating even more opportunities for purchases.

Product API
Aggregating product feeds to make it easy for developers to build web applications and widgets for their sites.

  • Quality content
  • Rich content around products and services
  • An engaged community
    & readership

The Skimlinks approval process for publishers

Never fear - we're as careful with new affiliates as you are. We have a strict approval process; we only want quality publishers in our network that add value to our merchants.

When a Publisher applies, we vet each site individually and only approve those that would qualify under your terms; offering a service or creating content that complements your business. We only approve sites you would have approved yourself, and we continue to monitor these sites to ensure they continue to meet your standards.

Here are just some of the things we look for in a potential publisher:

Quality, original content

Valuable, rich content around products and services

An engaged, loyal community & readership within the site
