In this instance I got a notification, but no explanation. It just annoyed me as I was actually sending them traffic that was converting. It may not have been giving them hundreds of leads, but I don't understand why they'd suddenly cut me off as I wasn't doing anything odd

Never from a buy.at merchant. Always from merchants with CJ though.
What merchant was it?

LOL, scumbags. I thought as much. I know we cannot discuss this merchant on this board but seriously, the "affiliate manager" for that merchant is an obnoxious, despicable and incredibly rude human.

They will have a very large competitor this year and if TradeDoubler continue down the road they are taking now, we'll have PLENTY of alternatives to that merchant.
