They probably are using a similar thing as Linkconnector’s “naked link”, and/or using web analytics for tracking. Rather than going thru cj’s server’s, the naked link is a great SEO method for the merchant.

i dont think that is possible, are they fooling webmasters? how will cj be able to tack the clik throughs.. unless nextstudent would track themselves how many click they got from your website.. besides there will be a whole lot of fine print for this campaign.
