My dog is only about 6 months old, but has been going faithfully on the puppy pad until recently! Now he just goes anywhere. I put his nose in it and spank him, then place him on the puppy pad. The one day he did go on the puppy pad I cheered him on and gave him a treat. But the next day he was back to peeing on the floor.

Rubbing his nose in it and spanking him teaches your dog that you will hurt him at any time for no reason. Is that the message you want to send? Correcting your dog within 10 seconds connects the deed with the message, but is hard to do. You need to look into some retraining techniques (many available on this site) and be one step ahead of your puppy in correcting his behavior.
DO NOT hit your puppy... ever! You are teaching him to be afraid of you and he will not trust you. Hitting any animal is cruel. Please have patience with him or give him to a person that will take care of him and train him properly. I am sorry to sound so harsh but so many animals are mis-treted for things they know nothing about.
