This morning I received this dribble from Lip-Ink
"We regret to inform you that the Commission Junction advertiser Lip-Ink International has chosen to expire its affiliation with you effective 3-Aug-2009".

As mentioned numerous times at ABW, decisions like this are completely useless.
In fact in the past couple of months I had actually reached out to the program's affiliate manager to discuss opportunities on my site. The affiliate manager didn't give a damn and didn't return my messages.

My recommendation is not to give this merchant your valuable time. They don’t respond to you unless you're a big shot

I sometimes wonder, in these instances, if the decision to drop came from a CJ employee who was assigned to farm the accounts.

You do make a good point. That's a possibility.
