Trying to pull a dodgy?

Well all the links WILL point to and go through othersite.com/link1, but like you said the referrer seems to randomly choose which place it wants to say it came from, and I need something that will show the correct referrer at least 99% of the time.
Not trying to pull anything slick at all, I just want to make sure my statistics are laid out very simple and not showing referrers from all over the place.

What type of issues? I don't care about SEO or anything for this, as long as the referrer is correct all the time.
Another example would be if you wanted to skim traffic coming to your site from your trade1 to your trade2 (not what I'm trying to do), the referrer for trade2's stats will usually show as trade1 and not YOUR domain, so you are losing credit for sending trade2 traffic.
Is it an on-page time problem? The redirect needs to happen slower in order to plant the correct referrer URL? Or is it a problem where the surfer needs to click something in order for the referrer to come from that URL? Maybe I'll just have to run some tests.
