Skimlinks Reviews 104

I would give a 5 star as i am completely satisfied with all the perfomnce & services provided by skimlinks. Further i would mention the best part i.e they provide easy access to publishers with all Brands & there is no need for approval for Brands.

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.

I love how Skimlinks has a relationship with every merchant I want to write about, and inspires me with new merchants to write about as well! I can focus on writing my blog, knowing that Skimlinks will help me make money!

It's very easy to use and their team is super responsive whenever I have a question.
The Chrome toolbar saves me tons of time to check which merchant is working with them.

Skimlink system is Useless, we only drive traffic through Search engine with our SEO techniques.
Skimlink suspend our account without any prioiry notice and clarification. when we asked for the suspension reasons; they told us that we were using PPC.
It's horrible, we put efforts in SEO to bring traffic to our website, once we get the revenue they suspended us.
It's horrible.
Don't work with skimlink.

My account is suspended no one is responding it has $2k balance. I have been working with them since 2018 and everything was running smoothly but now this happened. They are cheating their publishers, is there any place where we can file a complain against them?

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.

You need to constantly run after them to get paid. Support will only reply if they don't need to pay you. It's been a month that we are trying to contact them but they close our ticket and we still didn't receive any answer regarding our payments (+$300).
I also suspect them to not be affiliated with some merchants and to remove commissions from your account on purpose. Really tired of having to fight for our hard-earned money.
You should deal directly with serious networks to avoid this kind of headache.

Skimlinks is one of my affiliates on Shareasale. I saw that they had a Preferred Partner Program and signed up ($140/mo). Big mistake. Not only did I not receive any increase in sales, but it is impossible to cancel.

I had written a cancellation request a week before renewal and then followed up SIX times to first ask for cancellation and then a cancel and full refund since it was an unauthorized charge. There was no response at all from the "partners" email even though I have email tracking and could see that they saw my emails and ignored them. I then contacted their general email address, which I received a reply but even then NO confirmation of cancellation or a refund (they had to "confirm with the partners team" whatever that means). It's two days later and nothing.

I told them that if I did not receive a reply then I'd be issuing a chargeback, which I just did -- 18 days after I had first requested cancellation. This is the only way I can make sure I will not be billed again and I can receive a refund on the charge. Cancelling a recurring charge should not be this difficult and they should respond to their customers. As a bigger affiliate network, I'd expect that they'd take care of their customers better. I had originally considered signing back on at a later date but not now. I'm happy to keep them on as an affiliate via Shareasale, but I otherwise don't trust them to honour customer requests. Never sign up for a recurring service that requires email to cancel. Lesson learned.

Poor quality customer service, links not tracking and no help from them.

They stole from me for 2 weeks. My website was rejected but they still hijacked my affiliate links for theirs. They claim not to hijack affiliate links but they clearly do.

Now I am waiting for them to respond, if they don't pay me back what they stole then Jus drein jus daun

I've driven lots of recorded traffic through my site however I grew suspicious when NO sales were being tracked. I tested a purchase myself which wasn't recorded. I've emailed them countless times and 5 months later they still haven't come back with an explanation. I don't trust them and they have potentially stolen commissions and not passed them on.

They have Swallowed my $20k ($20,000) Which was earned by Day & Night Efforts from Past Months and One day they just Email that: "We are getting in touch to let you know that we have suspended your account with immediate effect due to a breach of our program policies.

Specifically, the breach was:

-Operate multiple accounts without express written consent from Skimlinks.

As such, Skimlinks is exercising the right to suspend or terminate this account at any time, without compensation and in its sole discretion.

When I Requested to Pay my Earnings They Replied "Skimlinks is exercising the right to suspend or terminate this account at any time, without compensation and in its sole discretion. Given this breach, the publisher forfeits all rights to receive any further payments as confirmed in our Terms of Service and Program Policies.

So Yes As we all know they have started Scamming Publishers infact in my opinion If could find Regulatory Authorities or Concerned Labor right or Human Rights Department To File Compliant Against This Cruelty & Injustice they have done with Hundreds or thousands of Publishers They should be Ban and Treated Strictly According to Law. 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.

There Are Several People Like Me and Kristina Who have been victimized By Skimlinks We Make them Earn With our Hard work of Several Days and Nights But After This Effort we Got "0" And this kind of Un-Professional and Un-Ethical Behavior that they don't even Bothers to Reply. I would go with kristina b. That This Company shouldn't be allow to do Business in the Market, I would like to add some more words about them:
The thing is i was Working very Honestly with Skimlinks But What Skimlinks did with me is not right at all. According to your Terms of Service and Program Policies It has mentioned that if the Account is terminated then the publisher forfeits all rights to receive any further payments. But my Account was Suspended it was not terminated, and the suspension you made was simply done without any intimation or warnings as you have seen how i was working day and night Honestly But in the end you People does not have any Professionalism that we should regard our Publisher's Efforts The Terms of Service and Program Policies you are mentioning or referring me on every Email do you Guys Really Work on that standards? You People let Publishers Make you Revenue and Then Suspend their Account? Have you Guys, CEO, Management and stakeholders ever thought What will they do after we suspend their accounts, and cease their revenue? Where will they go if we do not pay their Revenue which they have Earned So far Honestly With us For Us? Skimlinks Earns When Publishers Make them Earn & In the End you Treat them in that way?
They Must be Ban From The Business Industry & Justice of Law Should Prevail

This company seems to be scam, as a publisher as soon as you start growing your revenue. They suspend your account with illogical reasons. Moreover they block your commissions. No other company blocks earnings which is earned from hard efforts.
Their network specialist team give you generic replies "Decision is final" and they won't reply you back.
This is very frustrating, publishers should be aware before wasting their time + efforts with Skimlinks.

Poor support team , they only respond to your tickets and your email after 15 days minimum

this is fraud network they steal my $3500 and they also delete my account. such cheaters.
