Seems like a scam company
Reviewed on 2020-12-26T02:55:57
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

They have Swallowed my $20k ($20,000) Which was earned by Day & Night Efforts from Past Months and Oneday 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.
Thank you,
Kim

When i asked "Hello,
I need the Status of my Earnings Revenue/Commissions? How would I get that Earnings i made with Skimlinks Till the Date of Suspension? "
They Replied: "Our Network Quality team takes Program Policy breaches extremely seriously and this is our final decision.
Thank you,
Kim
Skimlinks Account Specialist team"
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.
Thank you,

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

Skimlinks is a SCAM Company
Reviewed on 2020-08-13T09:40:32
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.
