TopBucksMobile.com operates under the same basic terms and conditions and requirements of the TopBucks program.
You can utilize one account to promote both. Please find below our FAQ which encompasses mobile specific questions
and general affilate program questions.
Mobile Questions
What is mobile traffic?
Mobile
traffic refers to visitors that access your website via hand held
devices such as iPhone&tm;, iPod&tm;, PSP&tm;, Blackberry&tm;, etc. Mobile traffic
represents approximately 1-5% of the overall traffic to your site and
can be filtered or redirected through the Java or PHP scripts that are
available from topbucksmobile.com
What mobile tools/free content does TopBucksMobile offer?
TopBucksMobile
offers a generous variety of tools and content to promote via mobile.
We offer webmasters quality banners and mpeg4 videos that are optimized
for faster loading time on mobile devices. We have extra tools that many
other programs do not such as games and customized wallpapers and
fansigns. Blogs, podcasts and RSS feeds are also available to keep your
mobile customers up to date.
How do I filter my mobile traffic?
We offer
an easy-to-use optimized mobile redirect script in both JavaScript and
PHP. It's important to utilize a proven mobile redirect script to ensure
that you optimize your mobile traffic while maintaining your PC/Web
traffic. If you have problems implementing the mobile redirect script on
your sites, please contact support@topbucks.com or your account manager
for assistance.
How can I optimize for mobile without a mobile site?
If you
don't have a mobile site of your own and you send regular sales TopBucks
can offer you a whitelabel of one of our mobile sites customized to
your site's look and feel. Just hit up your account manager or contact
support@topbucks.com to inquire about the whitelabels and other mobile
opportunities.

Yes, it also must be active, functioning and adult oriented. The URL
must be adult related. Non-adult free hosted domains, such as,
GeoCities, AngelFire, Yahoo, MSN, MySpace, etc. will not be accepted.
If you would like to promote our sites via search engines or other
methods that do not require a URL, please note that in the comments
field when you signup for an account.
Do I need to have a certain amount of traffic coming to my site per month?

Can I be in both Per-Signup, and Revenue Share program?
Yes, you will need to signup once for each program.
Can I use one account for all the websites?
You need only one account to advertise all of our sites within the TopBucks program, either Per Signup or Revenue Share.
How do I know if my new account signup is accepted?

will receive an email within one business day with either your new
login or reason for the decline. To avoid missing the emails, please

TopBucks Promotion Questions

Once you sign up and submit a webmaster application, your application will be
manually approved and your log in information will be e-mailed to you. If you

be shut down.
I cannot download the free content (zip files).

You may use the free content as long as you are using it to promote TopBucks.

"Edit Info" from the menu. You can change your address, phone number and
method of payment. To make any other changes please email us
the information that needs to be changed and the previous information and
password (for verification purposes). All changes are usually completed the
same day that e-mail is received.
Can I switch between Revenue Share and Per Signup programs?
We can change a webmaster from Revenue Share to Per Signup at anytime.
However can never change a webmaster from Per Signup to Revenue Share unless
their account has been unused.
How much is paid on PinkVisual DVD sales?
You will be paid 40% of the customers purchase(s). For example, if a
customer buys $100 worth of DVDs, your earnings will be $40.
How much is paid on Topbucks mobile sites?
You will be paid up to $20 per signup or 60% revenue share on all mobile sites, depending on which program you are on.
Why did I make five cents on a sale when I'm on the PPS program?
Some countries do not use credit cards so with these given countries, we have implemented a micro-billing SMS solution. The amounts per transaction are very small, however, without these micro-billing transactions, there would be no revenue gained at all. Our webmasters receive 50% of the money generated from these micro-transactions.
