It depends on how the banner ads are displayed, in general no as we ignore most ads. If there are any that you are worried about drop us a support ticket through the tab on the left of our interface and we will send through instructions on how to exclude them. Actually having a quick look at your site, all you ads seam to be served through a hosted openX install so they will be ignored by the skimlinks code, so your advertisers won't be paying twice for advertising on your site. Thanks Ciaran
I've used skimlinks from their launch, good service, takes a week or so to get those links out there and purchases confirmed! I think they take 20% of the commission you get, although don't quote me on that. On my laptop forum, there is a lot of discussion on upgrade/accessories, so lots of links to different products, I'm making a nice sum with it! Interestingly, most of my commission comes from ebay!
It's been a month now and with no pushing from me I've made a little over $5. I can't complain as I'm not really doing anything to push traffic just letting it be totally organic.
Ciaran, Do you serve UK customers using UK websites? And if so, do you have UK advertisers? I have a car forum that this could work on one day. <Edit: I looked more and there is 'UK coverage' so I'm off to checkout the merchant list>
I just got my first payment from SkimLinks a couple weeks ago. It's definitely worth it as it requires no ongoing work on your part and you don't have to deal with signing up and maintaining affiliate agreements on our own.
