OK, you got me ... Umm, if the third party puts up an AOO-supplied logo, I don't think one can learn anything at AOO other than whether or not there are page views that pull the resource from the AOO location. It gets a little messy to track those.
If there is a third-party page or image (or other resource) that AOO holds a link to, the operation of that link can be checked from the AOO side by performing a get of that resource from a script. This pull-based scheme seems cleaner. That looks like an easy way to check that the third-party site is operating and an agreed resource is still reachable. - Dennis PS: This can still be gamed.

Just thought of a "poka-yoke" approach to identifying obsolete listings. Simply require that the logo be hosted by the listed company. That way, if the company moves on, there is a good chance that the image link will break as well and this will be obvious when looking at the listings. [ ... ]
