Got this email today:

The reason that I'm writing you today is to discuss the following issue, an increase in our share of revenues for 2008.

As you may or may not have known, we are a European based company. We have been watching the dollar devaluate against the euro for some time now, however, the dramatic drop in the value of the dollar in the recent months has become a growing concern for us (as you can see in this graph; http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=USDE...l=on&z=m&q=l&c). Seven years ago when we earned a thousand in US dollars, we would receive roughly 1250 euro in exchange. Presently for every thousand we earn, we're receiving about 645 euro.

With little relief in sight, we are asking our partners to consider raising our rate of 60% in revenue share to 70% for 2008 so we can remain profitable. If this is not a feasible request for you, we regret to inform you that we will not be able to promote your program at the same level as we have before. Instead, we will be focusing on the programs that are able to meet our needs.

We look forward to discussing the possibilities with you. Our affiliate ID is 921xxx

With kind regards,

What about European webmasters who have to bill in dollars how are they supposed to stay profitable?!
