It's not just about the technical aspect of clearing cookies (although in reality 1% off your bottom line is still 1%), it's also the perception. As a poster mentioned above, many affiliates would not be happy about seeing an exit link going to a cleaner type program, especially since it would be uncredited. So while it may be a good idea (it is, right, since you're the one promoting it?) anyone who uses it on a paysite with affiliates risks shooting themselves in the foot.
