If you are lucky, the tracking that the other site does will look for a
"code" in the URL and not simply the HTTP_referer.
As you noticed, CFLOCATION does not pass the required information. If their
script uses CGI variables and look for the CGI.HTTP_referer they are not
going to find it.
If passing your "ID" in the CFLOCATION tag is no good: ie;
CFLOCATION URL="TargetSite.com?ReferingSiteID=123"
(This would be available with CGI.query_string)
You may need to do a "MetaRefresh" on your "refering" page.
