It's not surprising that Sponsors sometimes give "mercy sales" when long term affiliates are doing poorly and notice it. It doesn't mean they are doing anything bad, just part of trying to keep those that sell your products happy.
Here's a tip: Become know to bitch on the boards for poor stats and make a regular habit of posting quarterly stats. Some Programs notice and will give you additional sales to look better for prospective affiliates. Make sure you have a bit of traffic before you do this though.
