The major problem I see with this is the need to verify that the
spamvertised site actually requested or paid for the spam.  After all,
what's to prevent me from spamming in the name of xyz.com just so I can
see them shutdown?  More importantly, you need evidence to shut a customer
and being spamvertised alone is not necessarily sufficient.

Obviously, there is still a need for some investigation during the spam
tracking process. I'm sure this kind of thing happens, but I think the vast
majority of spamvertised sites really are the source of the spam. It goes
without saying that there is no substitute for clue, both in the spam
fighting arena and elsewhere.
