Removing Publishers

Removing publishers from your Skimlinks program allows you to maintain brand alignment and compliance throughout your affiliate strategy. Skimlinks provides a streamlined process for merchantsto request publisher removals. This guide explains the steps required and outlines best practices to ensure a smooth experience.

Identifying Publishers for Removal

Carefully review your performance data via your affiliate network dashboard or Skimlinks Performance reporting. Identify publishers that do not align with your brand values, compliance guidelines, or marketing objectives. Prepare a list of the names and domains of publishers you wish to exclude from your program.

Requesting Publisher Exclusion via Skimlinks

1. Contact your assigned Account Specialist with details of publisher types or specific domains to be excluded.
2. Skimlinks will process your request and confirm exclusion, usually by the next working day.
3. Excluded publishers are blocked from generating new clicks or commissions for your program.

Ongoing Communication

However, some residual conversions may occur if end-users already clicked existing links, as affiliate cookies remain valid until they expire. Skimlinks will ensure full compliance after the transition period.
