Don't bury it in your back yard!

Who told you to come to this book store?

Say you’re an online book store, and you have an affiliate program. Of course, affiliates come and go. So, what do you do when, say, slashdot stops being your affiliate, and someone clicks on an affiliate link left lying around in an old book review? Do you

  1. Show the book anyway, but not pay the affiliate? Or…
  2. Tell a potential customer to go elsewhere?

Hmm.

    Hilarious! This page must have been written by a technician who foresaw the possible occurance of a system error when someone would click on a "bad" link leading to "his" webapplication. Nicely fixed :-)
