"Text2store, the service that lets you receive coupons on your cell phone, has just launched a Deal Badge widget for you to promote local deals and earn a bit of extra revenue.\nWith the Deal Badge widget, you're participating in an affiliate program of sorts.  Put the widget on your personal website, blog, or social networking profile, like MySpace, hi5, or Piczo.  When someone clicks on your widget in order to take part in the coupon's offering, you get a cut of the revenue.  The type of deals that are promoted on your widget can be selected by you, and the widget itself includes a couple of customization features\u2014add your name, and select the color of the widget so it fits better with your existing website design.  \nEach widget can hold up to 100 deals and coupons, and supports categories for products that you can select in order to provide a bit of contextual relevance to your website, if you'd like.  The revenue split is broken down to 65% that you get to keep, with 25% going to the advertising business, and 10% going to text2store.  The natural progression for an affiliate widget of this sort would be to incorporate an option for automatically updated contextual products.  This could especially come in handy if text2store could provide local coupons for regions based on site visitors, and not the region as selected by the widget owner. Similar services include friend2friend  and PopShops.\n\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
