If it were me, I would specify the referrer in the link: www.mysite.com/links.cfm?linkid=5%ref=nameofreferrer
and just keep track of how many times you get hits from that referrer. Then set up a reporting system that emailed the referrer saying this many people used links from their domain. If you all of a sudden saw a jump, you would know that the link probably got away from them. You could then regularly change the #ref# variable for each referrer. Sure someone could steal the link, but then they would have the original sites name, which would be pretty lame. Depends on if the security is worth the hassle.
