First off, I'd say not giving the option of hiding your affiliate link, or cloaking it for you. Nothing more annoying to me is having to constantly run my cloaking program in the back ground. I'm sure any self respecting merchant realizes the impact of aff id click theft. and should provide an option on their site that allows you to enter in your clickbank, or CJ id and out pops some cloaked code for you to use. Maybe clickbank and cj should just out right do this, for all the products they clear for merchants.

I would add one that seems to happen quite regularly which is when a network emails affiliates with an update and forgets to blind-copy the email, thus, giving every single affiliate every other affiliates contact details!
