I agree....plus make the affiliate area "locked down" and password protected. Surfer's don't see NOTHING until they are verified to be a webmaster with a working site. Too many times I check out a new affiliate program only to find that entering 987654 as a ccbill # gets me all the wonderful content zips and FHGs I'll ever need.
In those cases, I write the webmaster to get member access to check out the site and then pick content that IS NOT in the affiliate area.
Oh and one more thing... please block all robots from indexing the affiliate area via robots.txt - webmasters are not on Google searching for new programs, they are on boards and networking - put your programs there instead of hoping for SE traffic, which is all freebie surfers most of the time.
