My point was, if a 30x can cause a merchants site to be found in SE's under h**p://frostiessite.co.uk/redirectscript+affid/, it is equally likely to be found under h**p://network.co.uk/tracking-url.
If you are using it to get extra listings on search engines then it is unethical, but you say 'your site will slide down and out of google in the next few months' anyway, so its not a big issue.
If your using it for its intended purpose, then you are not being unethical. If google lists you before the merchant then the merchant should contact google's quality department and highlight the problem as, unfortunately, we have no control over how google list our sites or in what order they list them.
