On a related point. You can ask the merchant for a raise if you are a good performer.

If your merchant does drop their rates, they might not be doing it because of valued affiliates like you. Identify yourself. Show them your track record. Good performing affiliates are not easy to find. If I'm doing well for a merchant I waste no time in asking for more money.
