clicks not registered by affiliate programs

nah i encode the & char, so the redirect script will get something like:
/cgi-bin/clickout.cgi?url=http://www.site.com/refer.cgi?variable=1%26tour=2

i don't have to encode the ? char since the http server will only go for the first ? and don't pay any attention second ?.

Further when i click the links, i get parsed to the right urls with the right var settings.

And other affiliates with more than 1 var etc get registered correctly

which should effectively fix all those problems.
Further, yes it's possible they only count second page or only uniques, but the case is i send about 50 raw hits to these sponsors / day and they don't count a single one of them and this is not over 1 day or so but more like 2 weeks.
