Many of them do and they buy. That is why they do it. It isn't rocket science. It's mostly about keeping the slaves in line. The same programs who will go after affiliates for small things like this often will at the same time submit 20 minute clips to tubes or won't give a damn. It shows how they think of affiliates.

I totally understand this concept. The traffic that started me on the web back in 1994 - 1995 was from my images that I posted in newsgroups with my url on them.
With that said, it doesn't really male allot of sense in this case. The images in question were directly linked to their gallery or tour which has their name/url all over it on a blog dedicated to them.
Type-in are just part of the cost of being an affiliate marketer. Always have been, always will be.
