I really wish I had checked out reviews before I signed up with Skimlinks. It started out okay as an affiliate partnership. It turned out to be one of the most annoying things I have dealt with.
The main problem is that Skimlinks does not tell you what is going on. They do not say when you will get paid and the dashboard is not updated. When something goes wrong the people who are supposed to help you just do not respond. I sent them lots of messages over a months and they either did not answer or gave me answers that did not make sense.
What I think is really bad is how Skimlinks handles problems. They do not tell you when there is an issue. They just make you wait for a time. Then they close your account because they say you did something wrong. They do not give you any warning or explanation. You just cannot use your account anymore until you contact them.
A good network would tell you if there is a problem and give you a chance to fix it. Skimlinks does the opposite. They do not say anything. Let you keep earning money. Then they use some rule to say they do not have to pay you. That is not how a good business should work.
If you make content or are an affiliate publisher and you need a network that you can trust you should look else. There are lots of platforms that treat their publishers well and pay them on time. Skimlinks is just not worth it.
