Thinking of using skimlinks - just wanted to know if anyone out there has experience of using them ... good...bad ...indifferent.

I've had positive experiences with SkimLinks.

What I like:

• Easy to use, WordPress + vBulletin plugins
• Gives access to loads of affiliate schemes, no need to join networks
• Great for forums - user links are monetised

However the down side is you have to give up some of your commission.

But there are ways to mitigate this, for example Skimlinks won't overwrite any of your links that are already affiliated. So you can still earn directly from high value links and let SkimLinks sweep up the rest.

When I've had probs their support has been fantastic, payments and reporting has been good too.

I've written more on my blog if interested.
