We’ve heard that you would love “Remember me” functionality because you are frequently checking the publisher interface, and want quicker access to the data.
There have been a few articles popping up discussing Pinterest’s use of Skimlinks, so we wanted to dive in and talk about what they are doing, as it’s not a secret or sneaky or covert, but a very popular, mainstream, and valuable approach to content monetization.

Skimlinks has been around for almost 4 years now, we are established and relatively well-known, and a large proportion of our customers are blogs, forums and social discovery sites.

So… you are thinking about using SkimLinks & SkimWords on your forum, great! We know that forums are tight knit communities that are built on trust, and that readers are understandably sensitive to advertising.

Our amazing merchant manager, Jenny Williams, was interviewed recently on “Affiliate Voices: Conversations With Top Performers” about all things Skimlinks. On the podcast she explains how Team Skimlinks only works with high quality publishers and merchants, negotiates better commission rates for its publishers, and delivers superior results (along with brilliant customer service) to all of its clients!
