I see what you're geting at Fly, but here's the deal....
unless these guys are using absolutely the most basic of code for setting their cookies... tracking cannot be falsely planted. Mine can't be. Not by simply hrefing the domain like your example. This is why I use the coding that I use... (and no, I'm not giving it out here.) But basically... if someone typed in my address raw... one cookie is set. If someone clicks "Joe Snuffy's ref code", then that cookie is set. And on down the line. Regardless of which cookie was initially set, no other ref code cookie can override it. Not even (especially not) the raw cookie. The first ref code in gets the credit. Trust in the code... no one is getting fucked unless the programmer was an idiot.
That's all I'm giving out here.
