I was thinking of writing something that does a weekly diff of sites and generates me a list. This way, not only can I see which ones are dead, but I can also see which ones are getting updated.
Well, thats why I mentioned signup page, because if its redirected then signup page also usually gets an error if you ping it.

First step (for affiliate codes) is to use a stat program. Like Nifty Stats. Then you can check in details if the red/bad/dead shows up.

Then make a database starting from program level to hardlink level, which can also be used for other various things.

Then run a website monitor software from time to time.
