First suggestion: Programs should look at the header info, and actively track affiliates that have higher than average Zango / toolbar user counts.
They may also want to track the number of Zango infested users that arrive with no refering page, a sign that they came in through a popup window.
Programs should make it very clear in their terms that they do no accept toolbar traffic. A list should be maintained and updated regularly to clearly indicate unacceptable sources.
Programs could also put a popunder or exit console with Zango removal instructions for the users.
Figuring out a way to specifically NOT pay for Zango created traffic would go a long way to removing affiliates from the buying cycle.
