You have to pull links when it gets this bad or the sponsor has little incentive to change things. Think about it. I'm not saying it's happening here but if you keep your links up no matter what there is nothing stopping them from shaving 100%. If you're that lazy and dumb to let them why shouldn't they take advantage of you? You send near the same traffic to them either way.
