The CPA / affiliate marketing business is already pretty notoriously dodgy. - Diet pills / Teeth whitening / anything with recurring billing schemes on the back of a "free trial" offer. - deeply misleading ads - You are the 1,000,000th visitor / it is our birthday! Fill in a survey for a reward These types of deals have been smacked down in the past (for example: the FDA smacked down the diet pill industry for making illegal claims) To some extent the consumer protections are on the credit card processor's side (chargebacks for diet pills for example). But the question is - what will "complete anonymity" do to the CPA industry? If the landing page I set up anonymously says "buy this thing on the NEXT page and here are all my lies" and the next page is "legit", I get to collect the benefit of the ACTION while the CLIENT is protected by their arms length legitimacy while the CONSUMER gets lied to, defrauded, and taken advantage of. As the dodgy marketer, there are plenty of places I can mask my behaviours from the CLIENT and the consumer.
