How can I tell if SkimLinks is working?
Ah, the beauty of SkimLinks. It’s almost invisible to the naked eye! Your readers may not even notice SkimLinks working on your site, but there is a way that you can check that it is! Here’s how to test it: find a hyperlink in your text to a retail site; like eBay or Amazon. If you hover over the link, you’ll see the normal link you had added, like http://www.ebay.com. That’s what your readers see. But, if you right click on the link, click away, and hover back over it, a different URL will appear in the browser status bar – that will look a little something like http://go.redirectingat.com… Well, that’s us – and that’s SkimLinks working! Note: If you’ve enabled the custom subdomain setting, it’ll look more like http://go.yoursitename… This is a great option to make Skimlinks look like a part of your site – you can check it out and enable it in your Publisher Interface.
