To automate your monetization, you must install the Skimlinks JavaScript snippet within the <head> section of your website. This single integration automatically converts your merchant mentions into trackable affiliate links across your entire site.
Step 1: Locate your unique script
- Log in to your Skimlinks Publisher Hub.
- Navigate to the Settings > Install section.
- Copy the unique JavaScript code snippet provided for your account.
Step 2: Correct Code Placement (The Header Rule)
To ensure 100% tracking accuracy, you must follow this placement rule:
- Action: Paste the script into your website’s HTML template, specifically between the <head> and </head> tags.
- Why: Placing the code in the header ensures Skimlinks loads first, preventing delays in link conversion as users browse your site.

Resolution: Is it working (Self-Verification)?
Before contacting technical support for a manual check, please verify:
- Wait 24 Hours: Our automated "Installation Status" badge in the Hub takes up to 24 hours to turn green.
- Source Code Check: Open your website, right-click and select "View Page Source". Search (Ctrl+F) for "skimlinks". If the code is visible in the header, the installation is technically perfect.
Final Status: If the code is in your source code and you have waited 24 hours, your installation is active. No manual verification from our support team is required.
