That's NOT the problem. You are avoiding the debate here. The problem is THIS: The guy was generating ALL of his joins with the keyword being the NAME of the site alone. Not for terms that they couldn't rank #1 on, terms that they DID rank #1 on.

That is not allowed by ANY program. Period!

Every domain I own is #1 in the SE's for that term. Any affiliate who tries to send me my own traffic is going to be canned just like Shoehorn. End of story. Cut and dry.
