Skimlinks

This is the biggest scam company, as soon as you start earning revenue they will find silly reasons to suspend your account and hold your commissions, they have scammed with many people and illegally blocked tens of thousands commissions earned with hard efforts.

Moreover they won't even reply for your concerns (Kim Account Specialist) only sending generic replies that you have breached policy and decision is final.

No company has right to block commissions, which they will be paid for sure. A strict action is required against them.

I would like to request all publishers not to use this scam company and don't waste your time + efforts working with them.

I have been with skimlinks for around half a year now and generated plenty of sales for them.
Recently, I noticed that I never received any payment despite they were invoices saying I was paid. I reached out to them so many times asking where the transactions are. They never replied.
In the past, when it was about non-payment questions, they always reply very fast.
So, I suspect they do it on purpose, just to avoid paying people. It is a scammy company!

I've been using Skimlinks for a year now and found it very easy to use, I just installed their JS and then I don't have any other technical thing to do. Just write about the products I recommend.
They have a large range of merchants to work with and found it useful to try new ones and see what works best.

I work with Skimlinks almost 4 Years but Recently Skimlinks has totally change they don't send any email for publishers without warning they suspended our accounts and don't give our commission very unethical behavior by skimlinks.com Before Taboola Company Skimlinks.com is one of most favorite networks in my affiliate list but this time worst network ever I wish Skimlinks.com Review our policy and build good relation with publisher because without publisher skimlinks.com does not any benefits.
I tried to login my account then show the error and received email to suspend my account without any warning email without any chance and my commission has been lost and skimlinks doesn't give my commission and many others publisher.

Don't bother.
Go direct with your affiliates and keep all the funds, without having to split it with this appalling company.

As a merchant, Skimlinks is terrible to work with. After they became our affiliate partner, we found that they are improperly formatting links that, instead of sending people to our websites, redirects them to a blank page. I've reached out to them several times with no response. So now anyone that tries to access our site through a skimlink-provided link, can't.

If you're looking for an affiliate platform... keep looking, trust me. It's been nearly a year since I signed on with SkimLinks. I will preface this by saying they make 2 things clear in their TOS: (1) You must reach a certain $ threshold before they will pay out, and; (2) There may be an extended wait time due to SkimLinks waiting for merchants to pay them.

That being said, it's been just shy of a year. NOTHING in my reports lists any payment from ANY merchant that I've accumulated commission for. When I reached out to SkimLinks support, it took them a full THREE WEEKS to even respond. Even then, the response was a two-line form letter that said my request would be forwarded to the appropriate team and they would get back to me. That was THREE MONTHS ago. Crickets. Signing up with them is super easy, and their interface is very user-friendly - but there's NO POINT in wasting your time when SkimLinks isn't the slightest bit interested in paying you for your work. What may have once been a reputable company is basically a scam at this point. I shifted to publishing with ShopStyle a few months ago and I've already had one nice payment hit my account. Steer clear of SkimLinks.

This is big scam advertising company i hope they shut down it by authorities because i have a copons and discount/reward website company and after i link my website with skimlinks i make some earnings from our website users up + 5000 usd and i try to loging to skimlinks hub accounti see that there is a erreur message telling me that " something wents wrong, please try again later " i create a tickets to the support to solve this essue and if there is a problem they explain it to me and there is no responding so this is why i think that this company is a big scam company so please if skimlinks support reading this i need to respond to my tickets id's: *******/*******/*******/*******, i think skimlinks let publishers making earnings and after that they holdding access to the account's and keep the earnings money for them selfs because i can see that there is no proof of payments or any proof in the web. Avoid them

Hello Everyone!
My Accounts were Suspended due to Operating Multiple Accounts without Written Consent to Skimlinks. I Apologized Them for this and Made written Consent about my Negligence and asked Skimlinks to Restore my Account access as this is written in their Policies which they themselves not following also mentioned on their website:

11. 1. 2 if Skimlinks in its discretion considers that the breach or other default is sufficiently serious, or if the Publisher has failed to respond to Skimlinks request under clause 11. 1. 1 to Skimlinks' reasonable satisfaction, suspend the Publisher's access to the Service, in whole or in part, with immediate effect and without any obligation to provide prior notice(a "Service Suspension").

11.2 As soon as reasonably practicable following a Service Suspension, Skimlinks will notify the Publisher of the reason(s) for the Service Suspension and, where applicable, confirm the steps that the Publisher is required to take in order for Skimlinks to reinstate the Publisher's access to the Service.

11.3 Skimlinks will reinstate the Publisher's access to the Service as soon as reasonably practicable after it has:

11. 3. 1 received written confirmation from the Publisher that the breach or other default giving rise to the Service Suspension has been remedied or rectified; and

11. 3. 2 where applicable, Skimlinks has carried out tests or otherwise satisfied that such breach or other default has in fact been remedied or rectified.

But they have Simply Said "Our Network Quality team takes Program Policy breaches extremely seriously and this is our final decision.

Thank you,

I have Created 3-4 Tickets Asking them My Payments Status which i made with Skimlinks till the date of suspension But No one is replying from Skimlinks Team Not even Kim From(Account Specialist Team) No one from Payments Department. Kindly Guide me on this What is going to be Happen? Will they Pay me my Revenue/Commission Which i Made with Skimlinks Till the Date of Account Suspension?

Skimlinks is great because you just have to install 1 piece of javascript and then, Skimlinks will automatically affiliate all the links on your site. This saves hours of time otherwise spent on manually finding and updating links. Plus you get access to thousands of affiliate programs, all in one place.

Fully expect this company to be shut down by the authorities if anyone bothers to expose their fraudulent affiliate program. No proof but it appears this company keep publisher commission for themselves and pay out a pittance.

Skim Links has always paid me on time and their customer service and integration into my site was very easy.

The first year everything was fine, they always paid me on time, at the end of each month but the first thing I noticed is that the conversion rate through Skimlink dropped from a healthy 5% at Amazon to a mere 2-2.5% at Skimlinks, which is highly suspicious of course. At the end of 2017 they stopped sending payments completely, coming up with a silly excuse that my is Paypal didn't work which is plain nonsense as Paypal would have notified me on that email address if that was the case but I never heard anything from them. After submitting a ticket and going back and forth for weeks I'm still waiting for payments from end 2017 till date. I suggest you stay away from them as the low conversation rate would be reason enough already. Something very sketchy is going on at Skimlinks.

They are not the biggest affiliate company around in terms of sheer volume but IMO that is not how you choose an affiliate company. They have great affliates where you can actually make money on the clicks, name brands that people trust and use. That is why I give them a 5 star.

Skim Links is an affiliate site you should avoid. They don't state in their policies that you must have content or links on your site pertaining to merchants. If you don't meet this requirement, they will reject you and tell you that it is their final decision.
