Bankrate thinning the blogger herd today....who will survive....

Excerpt of a note sent to a number of bloggers today:

The Affiliates Team conducts a routine performance review in order to determine publisher growth month over month for the Bankrate Credit Card Network’s Banner Program. I’m afraid that your website will be removed from the Bankrate Credit Card Network’s Banner Program due to poor performance... according to the banner program guidelines, publishers are required to have a minimum of 10 sales every month.

Please remove all banner program solutions from your website. The products will be removed from your site by Close of Business Wednesday, April 25, 2018.
Any of our friends here lose a revenue stream today (that they want to admit)?

Also makes me wonder of some folks here aren't vastly over-estimating the number of conversions and resultant revenue some of the bloggers make....
