come on who you kiddin. They don't need even 1 person to do that. They could write a script to reveiw the meta tags on every site that sends them a hit and look for certain words in the meta tags. I am not a programmer but I am sure I could get my guy to do it pretty easy, i've asked for far harder shit then that.
It comes down to this, they don't want to know. Either you are proactive in how you handle your affiliate program or you let them do whatever they want and hide behind the " its those rogue affiliates " doing it. We will delete their accounts.
Perhaps pottery barn did a little research on AFF and see that is how they conduct their company and knew it would be a waste of time to contact them just to have them ban a few accounts today and 10 new ones pop up tomorrow doing the same thing.
As far as monitoring affiliates, you claim they would have to drop payouts to $2 or whatever. You people who defend these companies need to stop and think how stupid you make yourself sound when you defend them no matter what. They make 100million a year, you think they would need to drop payouts from 105$ to 2$ because they hired 5 people to spot check affiliate pages and to actually investigate complaints ????
