Skimlinks

Leading automated affiliate marketing platform for publishers

Skimlinks, founded in 2007, is a leading commerce content monetization platform that helps publishers, bloggers, and content creators earn revenue from their content through automated affiliate marketing. The platform automatically converts product links into affiliate links, connecting commerce-related content with merchant programs. Skimlinks works with over 60,000 merchants and 48,500 publishers globally, providing a streamlined solution for content monetization without requiring publishers to manage individual affiliate relationships. In 2020, Skimlinks was acquired by Taboola, a leading content discovery and native advertising platform, for approximately $415 million. As part of Taboola, Skimlinks continues to operate its commerce content monetization platform while benefiting from integration with Taboola's broader advertising technology ecosystem. The platform is particularly valuable for lifestyle, fashion, technology, and product review publishers who regularly reference products in their content. Skimlinks differentiates itself through its automated approach to affiliate marketing, proprietary technology that identifies and converts product mentions into monetizable links, and its extensive merchant network. The platform provides analytics, reporting tools, and optimization features that help publishers maximize their commerce content revenue while maintaining editorial independence and user experience.
