Show me HOW I can track down that type-in to YOUR affiliate page/code/banner/link etc and you'll get credit for it. But simply cannot be done.

There used to be no watermarks. So it was never a concern. I think there is a line. Some go as far as to put a giant url on banners. That is really crossing the line I think.
All you can do is either not have the url watermarks (but use a company logo) on affiliate content or else you can allow your affiliates to put their own watermark there to a domain which redirects to their affiliate code. The problem with the latter is what if the affiliate decides they no longer want to use you as a sponsor? I guess a possible way around that is for you to own the domain.
For an affiliate this is definitely something to pay attention to I think. 1% of all impressions is pretty big. You need all you can get these days.
