Here's the code I use and works.

PHP:
<html>
<head>
<title>Sponsor blah</title>
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">
<script>window.location="http://www.sponsor.com/aff-id.php";</script>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1; url=http://www.sponsor.com/aff-id.php">
</head>
<body>
<p align="center">You are being taken to the correct page.
<br>If the page does load after 5 seconds,
<a href="http://www.sponsor.com/aff-id.php">click here to go to affiliate site</a>.</p>
</body>
</html>

Then save the file naming it after your sponsor or tracking id.
I then upload it to a directory named "ref" or "go"
So the final look of the url would look like this: http://www.your-domain.com/go/aff-program.php
If your sponsor has referal tracking all you will see is that URL, to be more sneaky you can always do the redirect from a different domain and server and they will have to work hard to find your top notch landing page.

Tangetizing Alert.

Ok so I have a situation that kind of reminded me of this thread. I just applied to an affiliate program directly (no network) and just got approved. This is my first time w/o an affiliate network. What's the normal progression for campaigns when you are directly under an affiliate and you don't want them to know exactly what your doing? Is that possible? I'm sure I'm just missing something obvious, so 'scuse the n00b.

Here's the email from her explaining how I would be doing the tracking:

Once your application is approved, you should receive an email from (us) that will contain your affiliate login information and your main affiliate link. Of course, if you are doing a lot of SEO and PPC, I’m assuming you would want more than one link for your affiliate account so you can track performance. In this case, I’d have to ask you to send me a list of the campaigns (i.e., one for SEO and another for PPC) and their respective links (for PPC, this would probably be the different keywords you would bid on?). Unfortunately, I am currently the only one who can create these campaigns and new links for your account. So, if this is something you would like to do, please complete the attached spreadsheet and send a copy back to me. Once I have an idea of how many links you need, I can let you know how long that would take to get turned around (unfortunately, the process is manual at the moment – I’d have to create them one at a time).


Seems like they will be all up in my business...
 
turbo sounds like they need to upgrade their aff software and probably steal your hard work

congrats on the 1K - now post boobs, or do girls post pics of dicks? please no dicks...
 
Is there any difference between using a meta refresh redirect and calling it an HTML file vs a PHP file? Does one load faster than the other? Does one kill referrer links better?

(I know... very noobish, but I am not a programmer).

Thanks.

No difference, you can name it htm, html or php.
It all comes out the same.
