Would the sponsor be able to readily identify these "extras", because if not, even the minimal effort of identifying the domain would be a waste of everyone's time.

i wasn't suggesting that every page have a tag, that would alot of work.
i was saying that an affiliate would register their list of domains with the program of all the sites they would be using to promote, and to ensure identify/owner, that a text file like hello.html be put on the domain at the root, so that an automated process could just go out and check for hello.html on the domain list that was provided.
like i said, google requires that level of authentication, but you only have to do it one time.
the slightly cumbersome issue would be to put that file on every domain.
and the question is, would that be too combursome to an affiliate it was a way to potentially stop scumware from hijaacking their traffic?
I think such measure could really help in that area, but it comes at a cost of time.. and while some may jump on the idea and do it, if a greater percentage won't want to do it, then that means the idea won't work..
or maybe the middle ground, is to make it optional, that those that do could have better peace of mind that various efforts are going to help reduce the traffic hijaacking.
Fight the mandatory voluntary!
