How to find your unique JavaScript snippet

  1. Log in to your Skimlinks Publisher Hub.
  2. Navigate to install tab inthe main menu.
  3. Copy the unique code snippet provided for your account

  2. Locate the closing </head> tag.
  3. Paste the Skimlinks JavaScript snippet directly above the </head> tag.
  4. Save and publish your changes to your live site.

Resolution: Is my code installed correctly? (Self-Check)

Before contacting technical support, please verify these three critical points:

  1. Header Placement: Is the code definitely in the <head> section? If it is in the <body> or footer, the automation may lag or fail to trigger.
  2. Browser Cache: Have you cleared your website and browser cache after saving?
  3. Wait for Sync: It can take up to 24 hours for our system to detect the script and show a green "Installed" status in your Hub.

Status: If the code is in the header and your cache is cleared, the installation is active. No further technical support ticket is required for verification.
