Hold that thought Richard, Dj will want to respond to your post.
I think we are getting 2 products mixed up here.
Sniffy Jr. will be a tool on loan to the ASACP, they are already under the umbrella of the FBI, which keeps us out of prison stripes.
Sniffy who I guess is the senior is a suite of tools to scrub a sponsors affiliate program for triggers they request from us. We look under their hood with the capability of reviewing images.
It would be great if eventually the ASACP umbrella would protect Sniffy Senior in the event we accidently find an unethical site.
Not all sponsors have any clue or the time to crunch the data to determine where all their banners are etc. We are suited for sponsors, Search Engines, Link lists etc.
I would love to sniff Sextracker.
In 1999 my old resource site put some heat on AVS, and alot of good came of it. They removed the search words, "lolita" and others. I also put some heat on Sextracker to stop the ability to search on unethical search terms, they complied under pressure.
That was a start back then, 4 years have gone by and we still had no monitoring tools. Its a cumbersome job, its mammoth and who wants to do it?
But if a third party can do it for you, does it have value?
If nothing else, we have at least developed Sniffy Jr. for ASACP use, the rest of the tools are a start [Sniffy, fee based service] as well. Don't get ASACAP Sniffy Junior mixed up with what we are offering sponsors etc.
Does it matter to some webmasters whether a sponsor has opted for a compliance check by Sniffy. Would that compliance build a better relationship between a sponsor and affiliate?
Personally speaking, if I had an affiliate program I would use every tool available. It would be my moral fabric that dictated how my program operated.
But thats me, and you are you :-)
