Best way to hide referrer in stats? - GoFuckYourself.com

For some very strict mainstream sites like CJ it's sometimes best just to hide your referrer because they can get very bitchy about it very fast.

What's the best way? Double meta refresh is in most cases not sufficient. Any commercial scripts out there? Smokey got something special?

you're blanking your referer with CJ and they aren't shitting down your throat? CJ is notorious for complaining about blanked referers and holding commissions due to them.

There's no 100% reliable way to hide your referer (unless you use an intermediate page, which requires 2 clicks) - sooner or later you'll get a browser that will leak the URL...

Faking the ref would be even better but I imagine that's even harder to do.
