SkimLinks Harnesses Atma Links Acquisition To Power SkimWords 2.0

Screen Shot 2011-10-26 at 12.37.04 AMOne of the most popular ways for publishers to monetize their content aside from basic banner and AdSense ads is through affiliate programs. These are often transparent to users: you'll click a link to an online store, and if you buy something, the publisher gets a percentage of the purchase price (each program varies a bit, but that's the standard way they operate).Of course, signing up for each of these programs takes work. SkimLinks is a UK-based company that helps publishers monetize their content by inserting these affiliate links automatically, and today it's harnessing a recent acquisition that will make one of its products significantly more efficient (and useful for a broader set of links).The startup makes two main products. The first is its namesakeSkimLinks, which will identify any link that's been included in a publisher's content and automatically convert it to an affiliate link whenever possible (this saves the publisher the hassle of having to sign up for affiliate programs with each merchant).
