Setting Up a CustomID and UTM Parameters

Skimlinks provides Publishers with the ability to set up a CustomID. The CustomID can be used to capture and report on information crucial to your commerce content strategy. Some examples of ways to use the CustomID include:

• Author Name/ID
• PageID
• UniqueID
• Publisher’s own vertical classification

You can find out more about setting up a CustomID here.

Publishers who use UTM parameters in their content distribution don’t need to do anything. For these publishers, Skimlinks automatically picks up UTM attributes fromURLs and adds them into the Revenue Source Report.
