Quite obviously this thread and countless others demonstrates the demand for such a product. Sponsors to first adopt a transparent, anti-fraud system would do very well also.

i fail to see how anyone could implement an affiliate "protection" application. all that would be needed is that some sponsors would operate transparently, with external audits by folks like PWC who check all their figures and confirm that all figures are correct and no one has been cheated. many would promote such a sponsor and competition could then push others to follow up.

as usual you're talking out of your ass without having a clue. how do you know it's less than 5%? i don't know if it's 1% or 40% and you don't know either, so don't talk shit.
hmmmm the average sponsor takes 5 to 10k uniques for you on "good blog traffic" to make a sale? either you're doing something very very wrong, mike, or you get shaved very hard
