good placement is when your site rules the engine.

Spam is when you have mulitple sites ruling the engine, and they all redirect to the main site.
In my opinion, the search engine is responsible for removing the SE spam, not affiliate programs. So long as there is a single affiliate program that will look the other way, SE spam will continue to exist and on a much larger level than just adult. If search engines want to retain their quality, they will enforce it themselves since surfers will use an alternate engine if the results deteriorate. Can you imagine every affiliate program out there trying to clean out SE spam, this is clearly not a simple task. This is a job for the SE's and not the affiliate program.
