Hi Justnozy,
I think that software exists. That's what I mean by affiliate finding software. Take a look at
http://www.superaffiliatetracker.com/
I think it does pretty much that. I've a special partnership with them so I can get the software cheaper for you if you want it, but I haven't yet put them on my site.
Dos anyone have experience with this sort of software?

It's a bit simliar to a project I have started, but it's from a different angle. I think it's bloody good idea. The merchant charge might be a bit high. With a lot of programs having a 2nd tier, you could get a lot of revenue from affiliating with the merchants in the directory. If you allowed affiliates to leave comments under each merchant, they could have insight on whether they are reliable or not.
I think this is an idea you should definately work on. Maybe you could arrange some sort of co-op between the affiliates?
