    I've discovered recently Skimlinks (and also have learned about Viglink its main competitor) and I decided to install it on my site today.

    I don't know how well it performs, it will be a surprise, but since they pay at net 90 even if it works well (which I doubt otherwise it would be a magic button) I won't get the money before long.

    I made a video to show both services:

    And so now it should change links on the fly all over my site, we'll see how it goes..

    Here are 13 good practise when using Skimlinks on your site:

    I took it from their welcome email.

    Hi James,

    Nice blog you have there! I am overwhelmed with the number of posts you have.

    I am particularly interested in your health category. Would you be interested in reviewing a weight loss product if a product sample is provided? We have an affiliate programme for it that pays 30 - 40% commission and believe that it would be a great fit! Let me know if this is something you're interested in and I will drop you a PM with more details. :)

    And have you tried Viglink ? If so, does it pay better overall?

    Also, perhaps both skimlinks and viglink can be put on the same page, no?

    It's just to transform your links/words into affiliates links.
    It does it automatically, they take 25% of the earnings, but their % is more than yours if you applied directly to each affiliate programs, so perhaps in the end the 75% of their earnings is still more than 100% of your earnings.. But of course they control everything so you have to take a leap of faith. The good part is they do automatic ad links in text, which amazon for instance doesn't provide, nor all the other affiliate programs. Worth a try anyway. I have already a few days of datas.
