How it's SUPPOSED to work is that if, say, you or another poster links to a product on amazon or ebay (for example), skimlinks adds an affiliate ID to that and aitch gets 70% of any affiliate revenue (which is generally a few pence, so not the biggest money spinner, but nice and non-intrusive unlike big gawking flashing banners etc)
Seems like we had a setting ticked earlier that auto-linked random stuff which should be turned off now..
