YieldKit is an affiliate-link conversion platform that assigns affiliate links to over 20 million product offers across keywords such as product names, advertiser names, and general terms. It converts existing product links into affiliate links so that when users click and generate sales or leads, YieldKit earns revenue while the lion’s share goes to the publisher. The company announced a $750,000 Series A from Tim Schumacher and Lars Hinrichs of HackFwd; funds will be used to strengthen its position in German-speaking markets and to roll out internationally. YieldKit reports month-over-month revenue growth of over 50% for six consecutive months and says customers are earning up to 30ct eCPC, with traction among large German publishers. The company positions its technology as superior to U.S.-focused VigLink and mainly UK/US-focused Skimlinks. Founder and CEO Oliver Krohne said the company has significantly increased relevant factors of its model in recent months and obtained various big German publishers as customers.
