i think fixing a link is not a bad idea, but to make it perfect you'll have to waste resource, which MAY dramatically reflect on the whole db usage, in order to help a few idiots who fucked up their own links :D which I think happens rather rarely...

imho best thing to do, code wise, is to alert the affiliate with a list of URLs the broken links are coming from (both in the admin and via email, otherwise you're risking the affiliate to miss the message because of spam filters). and instead of wasting the traffic, just put a some text saying the page wasn't found and a link with history.back() saying "go back to the page you came from" or something similar

you can also put an additional link with the default site the webmasters signed up with, thats if you can identify the webmaster id, but again, there's the risk of sending a straight surfer to a gay page :D not big, but it's possible...

good luck with it!
