CHARLOTTE, North Carolina, December 01, 2005:
UpSNAP, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: UPSN.OB), the premier provider of free mobile search and info services, today announced that it has established an affiliate marketing program with affiliate network provider LinkConnector to drive new users to its free text message-based mobile search services. UpSNAP's introductory affiliate program will offer affiliate partners a $1.00 commission for every user they refer to UpSNAP. |
|
| UpSNAP offers mobile phone users a broad spectrum of text-based services that include free 411, comparison shopping, jokes, horoscopes, and pick-up lines. The services operate across all cell phone networks and are easily accessed by sending a text message query to the number 2SNAP (27627) via phone or by visiting www.upsnap.com on the Internet. |
|
| The global mobile data market will exceed $200 billion by 2010, according to technology analysts at Frost & Sullivan. Much of that growth is expected to come from text messaging, which analysts estimate will exceed 8.6 billion messages per month by the end of 2005 and will drive over $430 million in revenue per month in the US alone. By joining UpSNAP's affiliate program, affiliates can profit from that growth by driving mobile phone users to UpSNAP's text-based mobile search and info services. |

| "Affiliate programs have proven to be an effective marketing channel for reaching the young, tech-savvy mobile consumers who would benefit most from UpSNAP's services," said Tony Philipp, company CEO. "With over 165 million cell phone subscribers in the US, our unique program allows web publishers to share in a tremendous new revenue stream." |
