Again, not slamming you. I am just trying to understand the business case for a website to drop the revenue it makes from providing ad space (which if sold by cpm, is known and quantifiable) vs an affiliate such as yourself who's potential revenue can only be described as "good" and of "certain value" without any solid numbers.

And don't forget, your traffic costs them money too by way of affiliate commissions, and perhaps even more important, the income they may be making from ads on their site is a fixed amount, and they have an agreement in place, and may even be pre paid, vs an affiliate who could choose at any time to stop sending them traffic and thus affecting their income.

It really seems to me that some affiliates can demand too much sometimes without considering other factors.
