Our latest innovation is unleashed

Posted by Hannah on March 5, 2010 in Announcements

Yesterday; Thursday, March 4th, the thing we’ve been growing, nuturing, and spending all our time on, went out on its own into the big worldwide web.

SkimKit, our new editorial research tool, launched.

The free desktop application is now available exclusively to Skimlinks publishers, and is ready for download within our publisher interface.

SkimKit is set to revolutionise the linking process for content creators; by allowing you to search for affiliate-enabled products, with one click access to deeplinks, and image URLs. It works a bit like a search-engine product search; except every item in the SkimKit can earn you commissions if you decide to feature it in your content.

There are a bunch of other cools features in SkimKit too: like the merchant search, which lets you browse the entire Skimlinks’ network of merchants, or search for specific brands, and My Starred List, which allows you bookmark products to export directly into your CMS or XML.

SkimKit is also home to Skimlinks’ own brand URL shortener, which trims down your product links, and monetises them too. That means you can still earn commissions anywhere you can’t  use Skimlinks; like on Twitter, Facebook, or within emails and newsletters.

The team here at Skimlinks has put a whole lot of blood, sweat and tears into SkimKit, and we hope you love it as much as we do!

Remember, you have to be a Skimlinks publisher to get your own SkimKit, so if you’re not already with us, apply to join us today!
