It's always struck me as a strange thing to do. Yes - it will artificially make the ratios look good and all the newbies and idiots on boards will swoon at the great stats posted...however it also makes the clicks look awful and who wants to use a sponsor showing very few clicks (compared to others)? It makes you worry that something's wrong. But then a lot of sponsors seem to do it so obviously that method of tracking must work for them.
