Skimlinks, Connexity, and Taboola are interconnected players in the digital advertising and affiliate marketing space. Skimlinks, a content-to-commerce platform that automatically converts product links into affiliate links, was acquired by Connexity in May 2020. Connexity, a technology and data company, specializes in performance marketing, customer acquisition, and data analytics for retailers and publishers, operating one of the largest independent affiliate networks. In July 2021, Connexity was acquired by Taboola, a leading content discovery and native advertising platform. This acquisition expanded Taboola's reach into e-commerce and performance marketing, enabling it to offer a comprehensive suite of solutions that combine Skimlinks’ affiliate marketing tools, Connexity’s retail and marketing solutions, and Taboola’s personalized content recommendations, thereby creating a powerful ecosystem for publishers and advertisers to optimize revenue and enhance user engagement.
