Hi Lester,

Yep it's a leak - you got that right!

Well you can still promote but a certain % of your traffic could
leak to Adsense and you don't get paid for that traffic.
It also should put up a red flag that either the merchant
is clueless about affiliate marketing or knows and doesnt care.

So I'd say if you can find another merchant with the right products and
no leaks, that's better. Sometimes you can contact the merchant and they will change. Or if you really need that particular merchant you could still promote knowing that it's possible you'll lose a little money.

ALSO check to see if this merchant is on auto deposit with SAS.
If they aren't that means they could go inactive and could be another
strong signal the merchant is clueless.
