From the TopBucks Members Area:
There seems to be some confusion over the FTC Order/email all TopBucks webmasters were sent yesterday. We would like to take this time to clear up some of these confusions.
As the letter refers, the TopBucks affiliate program settled with the FTC over a CAN-SPAM suit that we previously had been fighting. Through fighting, we were able to negotiate many things to keep the information of TopBucks webmasters private and there are some few simple steps needed to be taken on our end which include:
1) Making sure all of our webmasters are informed of the settlement agreement and know that violations of CAN-SPAM are not tolerated.
2) Making sure we have up to date information from webmasters who participate in the program. We are only required to provide information to the government if your account violates CAN-SPAM
Since the TopBucks program prohibits promotion via e-mail and there should be no accounts using email as a way to promote TopBucks sites, this just leaves a very simple record keeping update
If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact your TopBucks Rep or email
support@topbucks.com or our legal department at

Thank you from your TopBucks team.
Quick Summary: TopBucks does not allow promotion of our sites via mass e-mail marketing and has not for a few years. The statement below requires us to inform you of the consequences IF you violate our E-mail policy.
