Asking an affiliate network or affiliate manager to ‘bump’ your payout up when you want more money for each conversion. You should always ask affiliate managers to raise or ‘bump’ your payouts for any campaigns you plan to run for long periods of time, or that have substantial volume.
Affiliate managers will typically bump up any payout when asked without much resistance, but won’t do it unless prompted. A good way to get them to raise your rates is to compare with another Affiliate Network, or to let them know that you have existing traffic to the campaign.
