I'm affiliated with a few companies that are not doing so well for me, actually I have a few that I still didn't make a sale for, is there a possibility they will drop me for poor performance?
It is possible. They'll sometimes 'deactivate' non-performing affiliates. When this happens to me on a few merchants, I usually email them and ask to continue. Usually, they reactivate me. This normally occurs when they "clean house". hanji
Commission Junction is doing this after 6 months of no sale. Others many do this. This is generally not in the interest of the advertisers. Most of the affiliates do not make that much money. I even saw a company mentioning that it made X sales, but the number of affiliate was twice the number of sales. That means that it required at least 2 affiliates to make a sale (counting the direct sales). Do not worry so much. If you do not bring them at least traffic, they can surely disable your account considering that you are not active.
