The affiliate marketing world has gained yet another service in the last few weeks with the launch of SkimLinks.
In simple terms the idea behind Skimlinks is that it does all the "heavy lifting" for you ie. creating the precious deeplinks that are more likely to convert. If you're going to link to an advertiser you're more likely to get a return on a deeplink than you are on a simple homepage link ie. linking to a product is better than linking to the advertiser's main site.
So how does it work?
The guys in Skimlinks have created a short video to show the system in action:

Aimed at blogs, forums, web applications, and content sites that want a hassle-free way to earn money from affiliate marketing, Skimlinks turns normal product links into affiliate links, with no intervention required by the publisher.That sounds wonderful, but what exactly does that mean?

The tutorial is easy to follow and does not assume any prior knowledge of using OpenX, so it's perfect for beginners.
Amazon Unbox allows you and your site visitors to purchase or rent your favorite movies and TV shows to download and watch on your PC – all in DVD quality. High-quality video downloads are the next big thing and Amazon Associates can be a part of this exciting innovationAt present the service is only open to US residents, but I would imagine that it will become available in Europe at some point. If your sites get a lot of US traffic then it makes a very attractive proposition, as you will get a 10% commission on all sales, which is more than what you'd get with other services.
Amazon (US) has just rolled out affiliate links for their VOD (video on demand) service which they've labelled "Unbox".
Associates are eligible to earn 10%, a full 1.5% above the highest earnings tier, on all Unbox referrals (up to $1.50 per item). There is no limit to the number of items on which referral fees are earned.Bear in mind that the service is targetted at the US market, so these links will not perform well on European traffic.
