As I said, I don't even know if it is practical, but I had in mind more something along the lines of my pages replacing a query string with their identity and this being passed along to the sponsor along with my ID, so that the two were then linked together in his database and so that the process was independent of browser capabilities and settings.

On the other hand, if I can find the time to identify and claim all my domains for Google, it isn't that big a deal to do the same thing for a sponsor. The question is, what would prevent me from having say 50 "legitimate" pages on a domain and then a few which I displayed for scumware captures? Would the sponsor be able to readily identify these "extras", because if not, even the minimal effort of identifying the domain would be a waste of everyone's time.
