Well.
I agree with the extra restrictions on domains that hook on their brand name.
Although it might seem a viable advertising method – and done well it does not harm – many of those sites are a very poor reflection of the brand.
Brand name protection on the net is becoming a hot item.
As for the second part about Google search terms – that might be going to far. I;m not sure that PartyPoker have a right to restrict the poker term – and if they don’t want the traffic then affiliates will simply send it somewhere else.
As for your main question – is it getting worse?
No. I think it’s being spelt out in more detail – as programs learn what is right and what is wrong – and personally I’d rather have it all spelt out in the contractual details upfront.
