Affiliate Link Tracking through URL Redirect

    Has anyone ever tracked their affiliate link click through via redirects?

    For instance, the affiliate link goes to a server redirect to http://mysite.com/redirect which goes to http://merchantsite.com/?afflink

    Can you keep statistics for simple server redirects set up through control panel? Or are there better "browser refresh" methods that let you do more tracking via javascript?

    The reason I want to do this is because the aff networks can be pretty slow in giving you click-through data, which makes it harder to optimize campaigns.
