Yes, the FTC still went after them... so?

There's a difference between cancelling accounts if they're "caught" and actually policing your affiliates. The top 10-30 affiliates at any program should be audited. But even then, you can check the referer logs and they'll probably be some web page.. So then how can you as a program tell if the traffic to that webpage is from some legitimate traffic source like search engines, groups, other sites etc., or from email??
