Skimlinks

Skimlinks offers various tools and products to publishers. These are

• Editor Toolbar: The Skimlinks Editor Toolbar Chrome Extension is a crucial part of many publishers’ workflow. When browsing any merchant’s website, you can instantly see their average commission rate and offers and are able to easily create an affiliate link directly from the toolbar.
• Link Wrapper: In addition to the Skimlinks javascript, which automatically generates affiliate links on your site. Editors can also create their own shortened links using the Link Generator, which can be shared on social media, email newsletters, and anywhere else your team can think of.

Skimlinks provides you with an all-in-one analytics suite that includes the following:

• Forms of commerce content: Allows you to experiment with different forms of commerce content, including product reviews, gift guides, timely deals, and more. 

Skimlinks pays publishers their cleared account balance at the end of each month provided that:

1. The publisher has provided the payment details
2. The publisher has paid Skimlinks the commission
