    I'm trying to track down an affiliate ID in someone who is sending one of my offers in spam. Anyone know of a good way to trace or step through a series of redirects? This could be 5-10 redirects before it hits me.

    i use a header viewer
    http://www.vipsem.com/http-header-viewer.html
    this will show the printed headers, you can normally trace them back to the next redirect.

    there is some cases where it's impossible to trace back especially if the redirecting site has some kind of expiring redirect.
