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.
