CARE International has launched an appeal to help the 16 million survivors of the worst floods in Pakistan’s history, and our Skimlinks team is trying to contribute to the cause, as we compete in the CARE Challenge next weekend.
On September 4th, we’ll be taking part in a ten hour multisport event to help CARE International, including hiking, biking and canoeing the distance of a marathon in Somerset’s Exmoor National Park, with all money raised from the event going to CARE – as they attempt to raise over £10 million for Pakistan.

We love clever little snippets of technology that help our publishers make money – so we’re very pleased to introduce the Skimlinks Ebay and Amazon Search Widgets.
These smart ‘boxes’ allow your users to search for products from two of the world’s most popular retailers directly from your site, turning an ordinary search into an affiliate-enabled one – so you make money every time a purchase is made. Smarter still, the searches are geo-targeted, so users arrive at the local version of the sites making them more likely to buy.

Those using Skimlinks’ URL Shortener are required to use links in a responsible manner and with the right form of disclosure – we thought we’d share some information here:
How does it work?
Skimlinks shortened URL’s earn commissions from online retailers and service providers if people buy products and services through Buyth.at, Tryth.at, Getth.at or Useth.at links.
Because there is a monetary commission involved, there is a degree of responsibility with using these links.
