Skimlinks' logo is "Unlock the cash in your content" and
in this they do well.
Skimlinks provides you with a highly
automated way to monetize your entire content. They focus on
two approaches, the first is the well known approach of
monetizing phrases on your site by automatically converting
them into affiliate links. The second is somewhat more
unique in that
Skimlinks can take regular links on your site
and redirect them through their affiliate servers. A brief
explanation of how this works is as follows:
Skimlinks allows you to:
- You add normal product links to your site.
- Your site looks normal to your readers with links showing exactly where they are going and it doesn't appear as if it is an advert.
- Skimlinks automatically turns this link into an equivalent affiliate link when a user clicks on it by redirecting briefly through the Skimlinks servers.
- Everytime a user clicks through a product link that Skimlinks is able to affiliate you earn a commission
Skimlinks allows you to:
- Add normal links to your content and have them automatically converted to an affiliate link on-click.
- No affiliate links to create or manage - Skimlinks does the work for you.
- No more network sign ups and approvals - you get instant access to 17,000 affiliate programs.
- Centralized reporting makes it easy to see which retailers your readers love.
- The scale of Skimlinks allows them to negotiate better commission rates for you over what you might be able to get by approaching the retailers directly.
