Hi fellow DP'ers, I'm wondering if anyone around here has had any experience with skimlinks. They sound pretty popular and have a non-obtrusive way of making some $$ by turning contextual phrases into affiliate links. So, have any of you tried them out? Was your bounce rate influenced after you installed skimlinks? I know there are similar programs out there.. this one just seemed to be a little better than the rest but I would like to hear it from others who have tried them out.
Skimlinks is absolutely incredible! I can't see how it would have any effect on bounce rate since your existing links are not effected from the end user experience point of view, just tracking info is added so you get credited with sales you would have not had otherwise. Also fantastic for seamless integration of aff. links without having to do it manually or give writers complicated instructions. The company is also very helpful and seem particularly intelligent about the industry.
Skimlinks works on Wordpress as well. They actually have a plug-in for Wordpress that is really easy to use.
Question to all Skimlinks users, How long does it take for the commission revenue from a sale to show up in your reports? So far I've only seen CPC revenue appear, but nothing from a sale I made > 6 days ago. Their FAQ says 4-6 days.
