Today as usual I log in into Mylot and see my earning. Look normal till I see it again half hour later. I saw my earning increase (not much, ...only 1 cent) I don't know where it come from. I check 5 days of my last activity but nothing change. So where did came from. Is that reward from Mylot, but why?

As long as I concern, rating not influence our earning directly. Rate only make influence when we active on discussion. There must be something else.

Rate only our appreciation for other lotters comment/post. Rating system only influenced our reputation which gonna be use for calculation our earning (but I don't know how, I only see effect of it). By the way, my curiosity is already answer. See Owlwings post for the reason.

I think you have been surprised to see such an increase in earning without doing anything but you should rather be glad to see it.

Of course I'm to see it bit still confusing why we deserve that earning. But other lotter already explain why this can happen. Check other lotter post to know the answer.

Hi lologirl, Owlwings already explain everything to me why these could happen (when I wrote this, my earning increase 1 cent again). Try to read Mylot FAQ's that owlwings provide in this discussion.

It also happened to me several time :). Most of the time, it increase my earning (even up to 3 cents!), but in other time, it make my earning decrease.. Just check the complete detail of your participation earnings. If you remember the detail before the earning change, then I believe you will see some differences..

I think we all need to see Owlwings post to know why.

Great one.. That's surely helpful. I just re-read the FAQ and found the exact answer about our question: "During the recalculation of earnings some users with lower-quality contributions will see a decrease. Any money deducted from users due to our abuse and moderation processes is then reallocated to myLot users based on certain qualitative factors. Due to this, earnings will fluctuate." It surely fluctuates..

Have you commented on anything? Of coarse you get paid on MyLot for commenting on, Or creating discussions. this may be where that money came from. If not, you're just one lucky person! lol.

Our earning from activity normally gonna be change after 24 hours. So if our earning from activity changed before 24 hours, there must be some report on it. These usually came from search activity or task. By the way, my curiosity is already answer. See Owlwings post for detail

MyLot periodically recalculate and redistribute earnings, especially toward the end of the month. This is explained here: http://www.mylot.com/o/faq/faq6.aspx#17

Nope, my extra earning not coming from search bar (there must be some report if the money coming from that area) and no notification why that happen. By the way, my curiosity already answer by Owling. See his post for the answer.
