How TopSMM makes money, how that affects rankings, and what you should know as a reader.

Last updated · 2026-04-26

Editorial independence

Rankings, ratings, and the "verified" badge are editorial. We do not accept payment to change them. If a panel offers us money to be ranked higher, the answer is no — and they get a note added to their detail page.

How we make money

Currently:

  • Affiliate links on some "Visit panel" buttons. When you click and sign up, we may earn a small referral fee. The price you pay is the same.
  • Featured placement at the top of the home page. Featured panels pay for the slot — they are visually distinguished and labelled as such. Featured status does not affect their rating, sort order in the main list, or the "verified" badge.

What we don't do

  • No paid reviews — every review on a panel page comes from a real user.
  • No "buying" the verification badge.
  • No deletion of negative reviews in exchange for payment.

Conflicts of interest

The operator of TopSMM does not own, operate, or have a financial stake in any panel listed in the directory. If that ever changes, this page will be updated and the panel(s) involved will carry a clear disclosure on their detail page.
