Maybe if brands started letting their affiliates advertise on their brand name their affiliates would push the competitors 'junk' out of the top ads (this may not work for the largest brands but would do wonders for many others). I understand that brand control is a big deal but guess what? On the internet you lose your 100% control of your brand - there is no way you can fix that so stop trying to and spend your time/money on improving your products and your advertising so that people will want your brand regardless of what they see/hear/read in other ads.
