I seem to have lost touch.
They don't seem to be providing too many referrals for us at the moment.

This is probably because they have recently lost some very big distribution deals, e.g: Yahoo and and Kelkoo although I have no idea how big Kelkoo was.
I would be very interested to know just how much traffic they have lost of late
As for who the affiliates are (in no particular order, and not a 100% exhaustive list) :

Listed below are some of the key aspects we seek in partner websites:
>>The website/s must achieve at least 7-8 million page impressions per month and have an ability to achieve consistent growth
Can't see that with the most of these sites, no new site starts off with millions of page views per month
>>Clear cut terms and conditions, disclaimers and contact points including email addresses, postal addresses and telephone numbers
Contact details on most of the above sites must be white text same as the background because they just don't have them visible
It just confirms that espotting are bending their own rules for these sites for the sole purpose of getting as many clicks as possible, the burn rate for advertisers must be staggering!

at least 7-8 million page impressions per month
Do any of the above have that requirement? I don't think so? How many UK sites actually have that sort of legitimate traffic?
That's approximately:
233,000 page impressions every day (yes including Saturdays)
97,000 unique users every day (based on 2.4 searches per user ~ an average for a 2nd tier 'engine' I think)
WOW! I would like that traffic... lead on McDuff!
Completely aside: There is also a reduction in the advertising rate across many sectors at the moment - is this due to advertisers knowing that traffic increases in January therefore they don't need to bid as much to get the same traffic - or is it that ROI is falling and therefore they are all lowering bids to increase the ROI back to where it was originally?
