Well, there are certain safeguards I have in place to prevent data leaks. First and foremost, the tracking codes used are not so evident such as using subaccounts called google, yahoo, etc... They're inhouse tracking codes that I assign. You could backtrack it to the source, but even then, what good would it do. Keywords are stripped on my end before it ever hits the join page. It does mean I lose the ability to track which sales come from which keyword, but I'd rather safeguard my keyword lists than expose them to my sponsors (and yes, TCG does have their own inhouse PPC rep which is why I opted to strip the keywords). Now that's my specific situation, but I do know what you mean, it certainly is possible to know too much about affiliates....
