Adding Data to Outbound Referrer URL

Is it possible without meta refresh?

Tough to explain but I'll try. There are a few sites that I send traffic to that don't allow advanced tracking by the use of sub-ids. Therefore, the only data I get back is the referring URL for the sale.

I'm wondering if there is a way to send traffic to a site, but adding a unique subid to the referring URL so that I can track what visitors are converting on my site.

An example:

I send traffic from www.domain.com. I want them to see www.domain.com?sid=489483 (or something similiar). I'm pretty sure I can do this with a meta refresh, but that seems kind of messy. Is there another way of doing that since just redirecting through a click script with a 301 or 302 is just showing my original referring URL.

If the unique subid doesn't need to change per vist then all you need to do is change the referrel URL to www.domain.com/?referrername
