Hey Shaun, We find it really depends on your community: we find some forums have communities that react really well when they disclose opening, with community members agreeing its a unobtrusive form of monetization for the site; and others (generally very technical audiences) react better when...

Hi Salty and Shaun, Feel free to give Skimlinks a try as well, its just as easy and you can see what works for you best. We'd be delighted to have you onboard, and you may find us earning more for you. Regardless, I wish you the best of luck! And yes, 14% affiliated clicks is quite good...

We also work with international affiliate networks all over Europe, so if you are based in these countries, Skimlinks can also help you. Alicia CEO - Skimlinks

I totally respect your view, but surely it is up to me how I spend my marketing budget? If your earnings are not affected at all, and we are open and honest about the fact that I do reward referrers (as many software and advertising companies do) does it matter how I structure the relationship...

For us to track referrals, you need to do more than just list Xenforo as 'Where you heard about Skimlinks', you have to click through the specific link, ie. www.skimlinks.com/xenforo You can obviously choose to do whatever you like, and we clearly are fans of both vBulletin and Xenforo, but if...

Thanks so much! My team have worked hard to make this launch successful for publishers, we are just trying to address any misunderstandings or concerns people might have.

Hi everyone, My name is Alicia, and I'm the founder of Skimlinks. I'd love to address some of the valid questions and concerns raised here (with respect due to Kier, who was gracious enough to encourage me to do so): 1. The point of this relationship is to allow forum owners to make money. We...
