For my own work I plan to keep a store of ALL user submitted links.

I plan to iterate over it and do sane things with it: * Is it an embedded image and is Chrome reporting the domain as malware? = Convert to link instead of image * If it a link that was only transiently available? = indicate that it is no longer available and suggest searching instead

My aim is to self-heal user submitted content that links elsewhere, as much as it is to monetise that content where it's possible to.

I plan to visit links on a schedule and react as necessary. I hadn't really figured in affiliate spammers, but that would just be part of the self-healing now... detect change in destination and re-run the bit that strips affiliate codes.
