Why not promote through PAW?

bahh · #1 09-03-2007, 05:33 AM

I have been promoting Noble Poker through Tradal/Affclub in the past and they I still have not recieved my May payment (neither has lots of other afiliates). When I get the payment I will change all my old trackers to PAW trackers. In my opinion there is no reason to promote a room from its affiliate program if you can do the same from PAW. There are alot of benefits such as centralized stats etc etc (you know all about it).

How many of you are still promoting rooms that you could promote from PAW from other affiliate programs?

I know that you can get custom deals with affiliate programs but I guess you can get it with PAW as well if you send lots of traffic.

Is there a reason not to promote rooms through PAW? I can't think of any, can you?

I think the only advantages of not promoting through the PAW network is that fact that you can have customized CPA/MGR and you can have a closer working relationship with the poker rooms. So I would say the PAW network is best for small and medium sized affiliates, and probably for a few bigger affiliates.

I am not using any right now. I will be once I get the other stuff organized but I like being able to contact some of my AM"s when needed and some of them will even IM me when they have a question for me or just to touch base. Those rooms I wont switch over....others eventually will

But it is possible to get a customized CPA/MGR through PAW as well.. But I agree with you on that the relationsship isn't as close as it is when you work directly with a affiliate program and not through a middle man. Here at PAW you don't have much contact with your AM.

yes from august. i can see in my account earnings but i cant see those in my account balance. and cant withdraw

No need to worry about that. Your account balance will be updated within 2 weeks from now. You will be able to withdraw your earnings then. Last month it was about the 17th.. Don't worry, you will get paid.

I use PAW for about a third of the rooms I promote, the others either aren't on PAW or I have a better deal direct.

The only disadvantages I can see are that you aren't building a relationship with the room's AM yourself, so you're not included in bonanzas or any special deals they may offer you from time to time. If you're a larger aff, or heading that way - you may outgrow them quite quickly, but I spose if you show an AM your PAW stats that will get you off to a good start. Not quite sure what would happen if you signed up through PAW first (I had already signed up direct with the rooms), would they even allow you to set up a new account direct? They wouldn't under normal sub-aff T&C's. Anyone got any experience of this?

Plus all the admin is done on Australian time, so if you send an email you know it won't even be looked at until around 2am (UK time), which could be a prob for urgent matters (not that I've had any yet). At least with Americas based AM's, there is some cross over on time zones in normal working hours for MSN chat or whatever - but that's not a problem for most who aren't in Europe. I also find having to email for a stats screenshot and then wait 24hours a bit annoying if it's only something small I need to check or if I find I have a spare hour to check stats, and if I was dealing direct with the room I'd have the info immediately. But that doesn't happen that often.

For a new affiliate though - it's a great time saver to just sign up with PAW and get going almost immediately. The default deals are great, and you know they can be trusted, which counts for alot. I'd definitely recommend them.
