Ok this is going to be long. So you might want to go get a cup of coffee
First of all I didn't bring this problem to this forum, I mailed privately to the webmaster my concern that I wasn't getting credit for my referral earnings. His reply was
did you do the math and subtract the others
as the referral earnings are dumped in your total line everyone else is getting theirs
I didn't understand this answer and wrote back asking
"I'm sorry i don't understand your reply "subtract what others?"
Your site states
What can I earn through referrals?
1 st = 10%
2 thru 5 = 5% each
I am not receiving 10% from my level 1
Do we not get 10% of our refs clicks on the site? If not why not just say so instead of confusing me with such a cryptic reply )
His 2nd reply was "due the math your earnings are in your total lin e"
So still confused I went to the automatic cash forum and asked if anyone there could help me understand

I have written to Jay twice about my referral earnings, he replies "Do the math, it is in the total" I don't like to bother him again but I am having a job understanding the maths of the referral 10%, can anyone explain please.
My total is $3.65
minus sign-up $2.00 = $1.65 minus my clickthrough $1.59 = 6c minus ref bonus 1c =5c
I only have 1 ref and i know his own earnings (without the bonuses) = $1.31
10% of $1.31 = 13.1c doesn't it? not 5c
I would be grateful if anyone can explain in a way that I can understand
After a couple of posts by others Jay posts
you have to click 100 as many links as your referred or u don't get downline earnings if you didn't click the the same links as them
if your referral clicks link A
and you do not click link A
you do NOT get a downline percentage from that referral for that particular link
also uplines must be 100% as active as their referral or they do not receive and downline comissions from each referral clicks ( under same example as above )
These downline monitoring scripts and percautions have been set into place on all 6 of our sites
To prevent lazyness " No more I don't have 2 click cause I have downline " Crap anymore
I felt this was a totally undeserved answer and it still didn't answer why i didn't get 10% of my referral's clicks, we had both clicked everything on the site however I refrained from answering as I didn't see the point, he was unwilling to accept there might be a problem.
BTW He now states

oh ok! so for every link you click, you get a ref commission even if even if its not the same link, right? like, if you click on 10 links, you get ref commissions from 10 links each of them click? right? or wrong?
Jay: yeah u click link and and your referred clicks a link you get credit ..
Suddenly i am PMd "go look on GPF" and poof I get my account cancelled, while I am typing my post..
I have resisted posting since as it is a total waste of time
with these sort of people, they are right because they say so and no amount of argueing will get you anywhere with them.
Now I come to GPF and am accused of "Not just what was said on this forum, they also went around to other forums and screamed scam~"
First of all I didn't say ANYTHING on this forum prior to being deleted (and that you can check
http://www.getpaidforum.com/forums/index.p...97c77fa12847b52 -
http://www.getpaidforum.com/forums/index.p...8&t=17226&st=30 and I challenge you to show me all these other forums where either SurfJunky or myself screamed SCAM, I have never used the word anywhere and I am only a member at a couple of forums anyway and 1 of those was Automatic cash where anyone can check the truth of what I said above.
I followed the postings in the loooooong thread and many people tried to cloud the issue, calling it a change of TOS, there were no changes to the TOS (in fact it hasn't even been searched & replaced properly) the site stated LEV 1 =10% there was no small print that said "subject to conditions" , , the site still at this moment states LEV1 = 10% still no conditions attached. Then we had the "you can't be a member if you are not already a member" Again this is not in the TOS or FAQ or indeed anywhere on the site, however this has absolutely nothing to do with what happened.
So there you have it: SurfJunky and I were deleted purely and simply because we questioned the scripts in the program, I thought we were being helpful, I was only down a couple of cents but just imagine someone with 100 1st level refs earning 20-30c a day clicking that's $20-$30 a day.....$2-$3 a day referral earnings, it could have been 6 months down the line before it was spotted and imagine the sudden costs then?
Only this morning I received a mail from another webmaster
QUOTE "Its been brought to my attention that the Paid to Click area isn't crediting accounts. First, I'd like to thank the member that let me know this in such a kind manner. Secondly, instead of trying to get tech support to fix it, Ive decided to take down the paid to click banners and upgrade the program etc etc"
This person was called kind and thanked for helping the webmaster!!!!
SurfJunky and I tried to do the right thing and all we got was public humiliation
Since I started typing this a few things have changed
I see Sherry has made an apology for all that has happened, thankyou Sherry though I don't think anyone here will see it over there and will continue to think your statement in the first post re our behaviour is true
And I'm informed the TOS has now changed, though again that has nothing to do with this matter
