1. 13 Ways to Get the Most Out of
Your Skimlinks Account

2. #1
Install the code
Without the code installed on your site, Skimlinks
isn’t going to work, so make sure you install!
How? In the publisher interface click on the
Installation tab underneath ‘Setup & Settings’.

3. #2
Remember to link!
If you include a web address, always make it
clickable.
Always try to use the deep link straight to the
product page, rather than a retailer’s homepage.

4. #3
Link images
Images are a very engaging way to get drive
traffic, and Skimlinks will tag links on images.

5. #4
Turn on SkimWords
If you turn on SkimWords, it will find your plain-
text product references and create affiliate links
for them. It’s yet another way to make money.

6. #5
Disclose
Disclosure means telling your audience that you
are potentially receiving some sort of benefit from
the content or links you are writing about. Use
our Disclosure Badge and we’ll give you 12% of
what new publishers that you refer earn with us.

7. #6
Look at your
Reports
Check our your publisher interface or use our
comprehensive suite of APIs to find out which
merchants and customers are driving sales so
you can focus more on those products and users.

8. #7
Activate Amazon
Overwrite
Choose whether or not to overwrite your existing
Amazon affiliate links with ours (teaser: we’ve
negotiated higher commissions with Amazon to
earn your more!)

9. #8
Use our Search
Widgets
Take advantage of our eBay and/or Amazon
search widgets to help you increase potential
revenue by allowing users to search for products
from your site. You get credit for any purchases.

10. #9
Go Social
The easier it is to share information from your
site and social channels, the easier it is for
people to discover your site and drive sales. Use
our URL shortener to create affiliated, sharable,
short links.
