• What makes TopBucksSMS special?

TopBucks SMS is the first adult affiliate program that allows you to tap into the revenue potential of the consumer SMS market. Much like the email contact referral programs of yesteryear, TopBucks SMS gives you the opportunity to derive revenue from your existing traffic by paying you to promote a free-of-charge service - an effective means of monetizing visitors who aren't inclined to purchase the for-sale products you promote. With consumer adoption of SMS growing by leaps and bounds, now is the perfect time to offer your surfers the opportunity to sign up for the free content and services being provided by TopBucks SMS.

• How much does TopBucksSMS pay out?

Payout is based on user agent:
.20 per webkit number
.10 per Blackberry number
.05 for other lower optimized browsing mobile phones

• What is a "webkit"phone?

"Webkit" refers to a specific framework developed by Apple to serve as the foundation for developing web browsers; it is also less accurately used to refer to any mobile phone that offers some functionality similar to a desktop web browser. Not all "smart" or "web-enabled" phones are truly webkit phones, however, and these phones may not present our mobile sites in a "conversion-friendly" manner. True webkit phones have functionality and features that enhance the experience of products offered by TopBucks SMS, making their conversion rates better and their traffic more valuable. These phones include: Iphone (all versions), phones that use the Android OS, and many other popular devices. If you aren't sure about a specific model of phone, and want to know whether it is considered a webkit phone, contact your TopBucks Mobile account representative for assistance.
