How do I use Skimlinks on my site?

Skimlinks Starts Referral Programme (with a difference!)

Love Skimlinks? Want to tell the world about it? Well, now you can, and we’ll give you up to *12% of what we earn for every successful site you refer for a whole year!

The Skimlinks Referral Programme rewards you for recommending Skimlinks to other publishers.  You can do this very easily by adding a link to Skimlinks on your site or use one of our clever branded ‘Disclosure Badges’ (each featuring a handy disclosure pop-up).  These Badges not only help you to be more transparent with your users and comply with FTC guidelines they also earn you a higher commission rate of *12% while tracking the referrals that you make.

How to Live in a Grey World of Objective Yet Commercial Content

by Alicia Navarro

newspaper-money-sectionOnline journalism has become a vast grey area created by the blend of black and white extremes of objective content and commercially-driven content.  We all want to be confident that what we read online is in fact as authentic and objective as possible, but we also know that everyone needs to pay the bills, which means that online content is likely to somehow have a degree of commercial influence.  While users may at first be sceptical that monetised content can be trusted, it is in fact possible to be ethical in this grey area.  Monetised content can be authentic, and with honesty and disclosure, publishers can retain the trust of their users and still make money.
