It would have been different if they dropped the sob story, and straight up ask for the exact increase they desired, then maybe offered something in return for being so generous to increase the payout.

It was totally unprofessional. Sending out what is little more than spam to a group of sponsors demanding they pay an extra 10% or will lose their position is unprofessional. Are they going to drop a good performing sponsor in favour of a poorer one who gave the 10%?
If so they lose.
If they're saying there is no difference between one site and the the next then they need to look at themselves to see where and how they make more money.
They need to be increasing their surfers loyalty. If after 10 years they have not built up a vast army of bookmarkers and surfers who come to Freeones to check out the next site they join that's their fault. Maybe partly due to promoting the wrong sites for the wrong reasons.

Besides this, we invest huge amount of money in advertising. For example, [we advertise] at expos and [run] ads on other websites.

If they need to be spending lots of money to stand still on traffic, whose fault is that?
The way good marketing works is to get a customer and keep them. The way Freeones seems to be operating is to get them, sell them something that bests suits them and then the customer moves on. Seriously their reviews suck, they review to many, too badly and this leads to surfers not coming back. Maybe they need to look at their business to earn more and not stick their hands out demanding others pay out.
