Does this make sense regarding PAW?

[KevinMcC]

Just wondering how this really works with PAW. I am mostly on CPAs with the rooms I work with on PAW and have some links up for a rev share deal with a room. Some how I got to around -$100 with the room that's on rev share (first action on that tracker) and the negative revenue was taken off my overall income.

I don't really get how that makes sense as it's not like PAW has to pay that room the negative revenue. I wouldn't care if the negative was carried on to the next month but how does it make sense that they take it off my other rooms earnings?

Because if another tracker is +$100, they have to pay out that affiliate $100, but they receive $0 (well, more because of their profit margin) over the 2 trackers.

No. They receive $0 for the -$100 tracker and $100 for the $100 tracker. (We are talking about separate rooms.) This results in a net of $100 being paid to PAW.

The problem is that if this carries over to the next month, they need to account for the negative carry over in your stats.

The way they are doing it now, this becomes a problem if you never climb out of that $100 hole. That would result in you being paid less than you deserve.

EDIT: This is mostly wrong because I didn't consider that they get paid much more for each room than what you make individually. This is an inherent flaw in the PAW system that results in you paying them for negative revenue. Either they eat it or you eat it. Not good.

I wasn't talking about separate rooms.
Let's say we have site X, PAW gets 40% from them, user gets 30% (just as an example).
There are 2 users promoting that room, A and B. A has $50 revenue from other rooms.
A is $100 negative, so earns -$30
B is $100 positive, so earns $30
PAW gets 40% of $100-$100 = 0 from this room*, but would have to pay out $30 if player A's -$30 was cancelled out, rather than deducted from his $50 revenue.

*Is this assumption incorrect?

OP was talking about separate rooms. In the scenario you are talking about, you are correct.

[KevinMcC]

Ah so the negative on my tracker gets taken off another persons revenue for the month, guess that makes sense then...

[NickM]

Well PAW gets paid on all the revenue for all of it's subaffiliates together (I assume). So if they make $10,000 total and you have a -$100 balance, they will only be paid $9,900. So either they eat it and get shorted, or pass it on to you.

I guess that's a negative to promoting PAW.

[JamesLomas]

Yeah but my point was that they have to deduct his -$100 on one room from his payment for another room, because the $100 hit is also deducted from the payment they receive for other affiliates' activities.

In other words:
PAW have to pay the $100 hit, because there is negative carryover between their affiliates on 1 room
Therefore:
PAW must also employ a negative carryover system between rooms, for 1 affiliate, to avoid making a loss.
