Used to work, now it doesn't. Skimlinks support asked me if I'd tried the Chrome extension in another browser as a fix, which is not only nonsensical but also unhelpful.

This tool only works for a very short amount of time before it no longer shows up! Pretty much a waste of time!

Skimlinks has been for the past few weeks now been overwriting affiliate codes with their own codes, thereby leaving affiliates to promote merchant products, yet never earning any money, since any commissions seem to be credited against Skimlinks own codes. They were made aware of this issue some time ago but have as yet failed to rectify this issue. They even managed to change WP user codes for Amazon affiliates to be changed to Skimlinks own codes after the website owner uninstalled their plugin. This is very unethical!

An annoying bar appears at the top of the page whenever I visit my own sites. There appears to be no way to turn this off, without logging out. But then you have to log in again to create links.

Doesn't work. I copy the links provided for each merchant I choose but it doesn't link to my affiliate id and so I have not received any payouts. Have tested by having people order thru my links and it doesnt even track the clicks. Will be deleting this.

The latest update makes this tool so irritating. The bar has moved to the top instead of to the side, and it opens automatically everytime you load a page (even if you close it). The purpose is to help you insert SkimWords easier but it doesn't tell you how or offer any help options. When an error does occur it just tells you to email support. The old toolbar was more useful and less invasive.

Used to be great - included the commission percentage for each site and seemed to stay logged in for weeks at a time. Now I'm needing to type in my details every day or so, remember to select the right site and then finally get a link. Update (2022): Now it just doesn't seem to open on many sites? Argh.

It seems the skimlinks extension isnt working and when i try to log in, i get a notification saying that "An unexpected issue has happened. Please try again later or contact support@skimlinks.com if the issue persists." Bummer
