why sponsors cancel low performing affiliate accounts

[BrasSmonkey]

If they cash you out earnings then whatever fuck them

the archive traffic still goes to the sponsor....

[NSWDave]

I’ll never understand this business how any business where a site getting free back links and traffic wants to close an account for poor conversions.

[Sneaky]

If they are paying per click which is not happening any more then I can see why they will cancel bad converting accounts but if they are paying pr sale or a percent of a sale that is a dumb thing to do.
