How does Skimlinks work? The technology behind Skimlinks converts both keywords and regular links in to affiliate links that allow publishers to profit from links on their site. Skimlinks also has a feature called the Skimlinks editor which plugs in to the users browser enabling them to compare affiliate commission rates across merchants. The editor marks a step towards intelligent linking which automatically updates links rather than asking users to search and replace previous links once marketing campaigns have ended.
