I doubt they are dependent enough on your link for that to hurt them ... and it won't help you an awful lot.

The key to survival - even success - for affiliates, as several have said, lies in content, not in links. It's about standing out in a sea of semi-clone sites. Not easy, but possible.

Remembering that most affiliations consist of many thousands of sites, try envisaging one blue poppy in a field of red ones. It's not roots linking to the central poppy that will make it stand out. It's the blueness.
