Hide Referral URL

There really isn't a client side way to "change" the url and hiding it "can" be seen as something to check out by some affiliate programs. Think about it, everyone sends a referrer so one day ePN checks your info to see you have nothing... that might make someone curious. Just my opinion but thats a flag that will eventually be spotted.

However, there is another way :)

so what will this meta refresh actually do, will it hide where users come from or from which forum for example they got cookie stuffed?
 
I am starting to think that blanking the referrer is not good enough. What if an Affiliate manager...or his goon was smart enough to spoof the blank referrer and go to your site. They would then be cookied. It is extremely easy to spoof the referrer client side.

Is it possible to hide the referrer with htaccess redirects? Does something like this work:

Code: 
RewriteEngine On
Redirect 301 /foo /foo2
Redirect 301 /foo2 /aff_link
