I would say that the sponsors have a responsibility to cut off these affiliates when you notify
them of the problem. Even if they checked each affiliate's site before activating them the
bad guys would just put the banner on a legit looking site for one day, then switch it after
the site is approved. I don't see any way that could work.
Anyway Strongbox will take care fo the password traders for you.
Checking the referer can be a good idea in some circumstances, but you have to be
careful with that. There are some pitfulls and certain sites that you need to specifcally
allow. Also it only works if either you put it on every page, or rely on the fact that the
password sites won't figure out they can link to some page other than your main page.
Unless of course you're using Strongbox, in which case an intelligent referrer check
is one check done during the log in process.
