I've been buying traffic for years, and I've seen all sorts of attempts at blocking referring URLs and sources. In a majority of the cases, it was someone trying to hide some fraudulent method of sending clicks or signups. Not all are fraud, but I certainly take a closer look.

And, really, it's all moot. Because, it's pretty easy for me to figure out what the real URL or source of the traffic is anyway. I can't think of a method that's 100% foolpoof.

It all comes down to picking good affiliates, and good programs, and building up a sense of trust. Any good program will encourage whale affiliates to send more traffic. Because, usually, once a whale, always a whale. The whales are the smart guys you want to do business with long term.
