    I received an email today from a vendor spinning a reduction in commission %.

    Actually, I still like them (and they think we are awesome! :))and I appreciate the way free markets work. I imagine there will be some publishers getting all pissy about it though. Maybe a bunch of them will pull the links and I can jump up a spot.

    Yep they sure know how to spin it. I saw that letter on a couple other forums and I think some affiliates are ticked so you just may get your wish and move up. :p

    At least they are honest & up-front ...

    good call on their part IMO.

    Yeah, it beats having mad customers and no communication as long as they toe the line later, improve their warehousing and get the percentage back up.

    Hunh, one of my affiliates just duck their commission from 15% to 10%, and I've been with them for 3 years now. Kinda lame, and I'm thinking of going with someone else if they offer more...
