Overview

Skimlinks is a commerce content monetization platform that enables publishers, bloggers, and content creators to automatically monetize their commerce content through affiliate marketing. The platform uses proprietary technology to automatically convert product links into affiliate links across thousands of merchant programs, eliminating the need for publishers to manually join individual affiliate networks or manage multiple relationships. Skimlinks operates as a subsidiary of Taboola, which acquired the company in 2020, and continues to serve as a key commerce monetization solution for digital publishers. The platform provides access to over 48,500 merchant programs across more than 50 countries, offering publishers a streamlined way to earn commissions from product recommendations and commerce content. Skimlinks' technology automatically detects product mentions and links within content, affiliates them with relevant merchant programs, and tracks conversions. The company serves a diverse range of publishers from independent bloggers to major media companies, providing them with tools for link management, performance analytics, and revenue optimization. As part of Taboola's ecosystem, Skimlinks continues to operate as a distinct brand and platform, complementing Taboola's broader content recommendation and native advertising offerings. The integration has expanded Skimlinks' reach and capabilities while maintaining its core focus on commerce content monetization for the publisher community.
