Hey, it's your program and nobody can tell you how to run it.

I think the real issue here is that you're not satisfied with your score, because you wouldn't say anything if your sites were in the top 15. Tawnee Stone scored 80.3 based on the scores all the other review sites have given it. Which is not very far from 80.1 from TBP. If you're asking review sites to bend their rules for you, I think you might as well ask them to stop promoting your sites.

Bottom line is that as much as it pisses you off, you'd make less money without them being your affiliates.
Exactly.. if Tawnee Stone was the highest rated, and every other review showed Tawnee Stone on the side bar at #1, this thread might tell a different story.
