This is our favorite affiliate network

This is our favorite affiliate network. Everything is in one place, you don't need to apply to each brand, and it automatically converts normal links to affiliate links, when possible.

One place has them all

I love the fact I do not have to keep up with so many other affiliate programs and can just go here to get majority of them. Only thing I ask Is a page doesn't get approved that we can delete it from the account instead of contacting customer service which is kind of difficult to get in touch with if needed immediately.

Charges upfront, no support whatsoever

Applied for the Paid Partner Program, which required an upfront payment of the first month's subscription. Automated response said that I'd hear back within 2 business days. It's now been nearly a month (as evidenced by them alerting me to the renewal) and I have yet to hear back, despite multiple attempts to reach their support. It's impossible to get in touch with them. Terrible business practices.

Skimlinks is fantastic and convenient

Skimlinks is such an easy way to monetise your links. As there are so many merchants on Skimlinks, it means you can monetise your content easily and conveniently, without working from loads of different affiliate marketing platforms. The set-up was super easy, and Tyra was so helpful. She responded to any of my queries quickly and thoroughly. I can't recommend Skimlinks enough!

Best Platform i've used

Usability was very easy, which saved me lots of time.
The publisher support team are very friendly and helpful and responded to my issues in a timely manner.
The reporting tools are extremely helpful which really helped to optimize my blog to the fullest.
I've been using Skimlinks for a few months now and there are no other platforms out there that can compete.
I would highly recommend using Skimlinks.

Skip Skimlinks - Try Other Affiliate Networks Instead.

I have not received payments for past earnings. The money (which has surpassed the payment threshold) has been sitting in my account for over a year now. Every time I contact support about it I get a canned, automated response. The famous excuse is that the advertisers have not released commissions to Skimlinks, so therefore they can't pay me. My question is how does a large affiliate network like Skimlinks not have systems in place to recoup hard-earned commissions for their publishers? How is it that advertisers are allowed to just not pay earnings? It shows a lack of concern for publishers.

I'll guess that advertisers do pay them, but they (Skimlinks) don't pay us. So, I'm currently in the process of removing all remaining Skimlinks links from my website and will be closing my account. Why should I continue to fatten their pockets when I don't get a dime? I've also given up on trying to get my payments. If they want it so badly they can keep it.

A NOTE TO PUBLISHERS/BLOGGERS: Choose an affiliate network that works directly with merchants and advertisers and has systems in place to help and protect publishers. Try CJ.com, Shareasale, Impact Radius is hot on the scene these days. I Joined Impact a few months ago and so far so good. I've been paid on time EVERY time! Never had to send a payment inquiry email once! That's what you want. Good Luck!

Skimlinks is a great concept and certainly makes affiliate marketing easier. I feel the platform could be made simpler and easier to use. It would also be great if you could enter your blog address and the system would automatically add links to keywords that you choose and presto ! I know that would be asking the impossible ! :))

Love Being an Approved Publisher with Skimlinks

I cannot place a higher value on Luxe-Edit.com being an approved publisher in the Skimlinks network. An incredible array of merchant partners and their publisher support is 5-stars all the way. They persist until any reported issue is resolved -- Professional, courteous, and always helpful. Highly recommend Skimlinks!

This company is a scam

This company is a scam, nothing else. They took my payment and suspended my account without any reason. They gave me a reason that I was doing PPC, which was wrong. I have asked to release my funds, but no reply from your company since then. I will never recommend this affiliate network to any person. So basically, you are running a scam company that suspends the account for the wrong reasons and takes all payments. I had 5-10 thousand dollars in my account. I request you to send my hard-earned commissions to me. Also, customer service sucks there is no account specialist, as they say, I guess there are only two to three persons working in their company which they called account specialists because they will never reply to your ticket. Please Be Aware and don't join this affiliate network if you don't want to lose your hard-earned commissions.

Why have none of my earnings been paid yet? I have earned commissions more than 1 year ago that still haven’t been paid for by the merchants. I have emailed customer service and nothing has been done yet.

Worst experience

I would not work with them anymore. This company is a complete mess and customer support is miserable. It seems like everything that can go wrong does go wrong including commission payments.

It's best to work with affiliate networks directly. I think ever since Taboola acquired them last year in September everything just got worse.

Why my account get Banned?

I beg to say that I am an obedient publisher of Skimlinks who is strictly following terms and conditions. I am generating traffic on my site through bloggings , social media postings , and the main of our resource is Search Engine Optimization (SEO) , you can also check our social media pages and our website blogs page. We have been working with Skimlinks for the last couple of months and I am very satisfied with your network. But, suddenly today Skimlinks banned my ID without any prior notice. I also do not have any flag raised in this period why Skimlinks band my ID. I am getting so depressed by this act

you will never get your commission

has a good amount of companies on the platform. I appreciate that you can create links straight away and not wait for merchant approval like with other affiliate platforms, HOWEVER, merchants rarely pay and therefore in reality you won't get any commission paid. I have unpaid balances from Feb 2021, that are just not validated. I have tried to get in touch with support, but rarely get a response or just going in circles, so in case they decide to respond here are some of my commission id's that you can check before replying - 278085129, 282567770, 305148747, 324448424
