At the end of the line is a sponsor who is not taking adequate steps to ensure that none of his sales are being generated via scumware.
What if the affiliate isn't aware of it. For example, I'm buying traffic from GoClick and Findwhat and I do see my sites listed there because ResultsMaster is carrying their feeds. The complaint that Smokey is making should be geared towards the PPC SE's in this case for allowing the feed to be carried, not the affiliate program.
