If a program wants to keep their good loyal affiliates and their good name, they will make efforts to preserve rebills, and direct my traffic to another site so I'm not wasting it or having it outright stolen from me. And they will notify me.

The better affiliate programs know this.
CDSmith, i do the same thing as you, spread my traffic across hundreds of affiliate programs also, and even tho when sites shut down i am not pissed off so much from the $$$ i lose (tho i'm defiantely not happy) but i just wish the sponsor would try harder to think of the affiliates losses to try as hard as possible to keep the site open, to keep the possible rebills coming in etc etc

some ppl i know are really quick on the closing of sites......it's like if a model says i want my pics off the site, some owners are like "awww i'm so sorry, yea i'll take them off right away, let me know if i can rub your feet"

and not even care to think about affiliates and what we will lose
