You say you dropped the sponsor anyway, a better option would have been to convert some of your traffic into sales for them and at least show you were willing to make an effort.
I have sponsors that will work with me, that help me, that create content and banners for me. In return I send them lots of traffic and it converts well for me, my main sponsor converts at around 1:150 and I send a fair bit of traffic.

So an unhelpful sponsor is not needed. Theres plenty about that want my business so they are the ones I will concentrate on.

Everyone starts of by not sending much traffic and sales, the top affiliates all started by sending nothing. So sponsors should not assume because someone is not sending traffic today, you won't be their biggest affiliate next year.
