I have always thought that we should have a trade organization that tests sponsors and that sponsors agree to a code of ethics. Part of the deal is that they will be be subject to random blind testing. Then that sponsor could display a seal of approval.
The ethics should be two way. Affiliates cheat too. Think its just as hard to control fraud on the part of an affiliate??
Other items that could be included in a list of unifying principals:
Don't steal content
Don't spam
Pic tags on all sites
Well you get the idea. Have levels of mebership to pay for testing and enforcement of rules. Break the rules and you are off the list of approved affiliates or sponsors.
That's the short version. Would it work or ever hapen?
There have been some meger attempts at starting a trade organization, but they don't seem to take off.

Hey man very good post and i thank you for taking the time to write this. You got some very good points in there you have listed . Feel free to contact me if you have anything else to add. My traffic days are pretty much over pushing a afillate url. Im gonna start focusing on the webmasters and find ways to benifiet us all. If it pisses off a sponsor or a group so be it. We are the ones who make the sponsors who they are. Your post made me think and i like that. I see a near future project coming on
