According to a December 2010 poll there are over 302 million mobile phones in use in the United States. Worldwide there are over 5 billion mobile phones in use. Yes, Billion with a B. There are roughly as many mobile phone users as Internet surfers, when you look at worldwide data. If you thought mobile was a trend or some kind of fad, think again. The numbers are just going up and up every year. In fact, it’s my prediction that there will be more mobile device users than desktop computer users in the very near future, if it’s not already the case.

Sponsormob is one of the first Mobile CPA Networks in the market and has been operating since 2007. They are in my opinion one of the best Mobile Affiliate Networks around. And, they are doing something that not a lot of other networks are doing, they are focusing almost entirely on Mobile. They are not just dabbling around in it like some networks are doing, they are making it their main business.

This Sponsormob review is intended to give you a close look at who Sponsormob is and why you should be working with them. I personally hate reviews that are bloated and clearly extremely bias. I aim to make all of my reviews fact based and to the point, as well as injecting my personal opinion of course.

Is Sponsormob an experienced legitimate affiliate network?

YES! The answer to that question is simple it and didn’t take me very long to uncover numerous facts about Sponsormob that proves me that they are serious, legitimate, and on top of that… one of the best dedicated to mobile affiliate networks around. Here’s a couple things that stood out right away:

• Sponsormob not only attends conferences, they blog about them and invite affiliates and others to network with them at events.
• They have a presence at all of the top affiliate and marketing conferences.
• They are attending Affiliate Summit East 2011, as am I.

Presence is a clear indicator of strength of an affiliate network

One of the things that I always check for when I am looking at an affiliate network to work with, is their presence. What do I mean by presence? It means just as it sounds, it means are they doing all the things that other successful affiliate networks have to do to remain competitive. These things include buying relevant advertising space, networking and setting up booths at the affiliate and marketing conferences, blogging, social media presence, amongst other things.

When you see a network that has done none of these things, it sets off red flags. Sponsormob clearly passes the test and gets an A+ in the presence department. Way to go Sponsormob!

Talking to someone at the network is an important step

I had an email dialogue with one of the higher ups at Sponsormob and this was my way of communicating with someone at the network and seeing how they treat people. I like to “test” people when they least expect it. Some things to look for are how do they respond to questions that might be out of the ordinary, do they brush them off or put in a legitimate effort? You can also probe about payouts and pay terms and make sure that nothing seems fishy. Of course, Sponsormob passes the test with 5 stars, and I got a very good feeling when communicating with them.

Reputation of a network is extremely important

I’ll tell you a little secret too, always ask around… that’s exactly what I did with Sponsormob and I must say that I couldn’t find a single person with a bad thing to say, and I know a LOT of affiliates both big and small! It’s hard to have a perfect reputation in the marketing business!

Quality and type of affiliate offers

One of the next things that I’ll look for is quality and types of offers. Here are just a few categories that Sponsormob is extremely strong in:

• Gaming
• Dating
• Shopping/Retail
• Entertainment
• iPhone & Android Apps
• Mobile Content
• (And a lot of others!)

International Affiliate Network with Global Offers

Sponsormob is not only a top Mobile Affiliate Network, they are a top GLOBAL Affiliate Network. They have offers catering to virtually all major countries. I know from personal experience that sometimes all of the competitors are targeting US traffic and consumers, and it’s easy to tap into that International market because the competition can be less. There is a lot of money to be paid in both domestic US and International markets with Sponsormob.

Unique Reporting Tools

The backend reporting on Sponsormob is quite incredible. You’ll have to sign up to check out what I mean.

• Statistics are broken down by country, handset, carrier, operating system, and subIDs.
• Statistics are updated on an hourly basis.

Competitive Payment Terms

This day in age, payment terms can make or break an affiliate marketer. If you are waiting months for your payment, that’s not going to work. Sponsormob has very attractive payment terms to affiliates, paying faster than the industry standard!
