if you've spoofed your referral links, how would they ever know?

I don't lie to my clients about where I spend their money - and even if I wanted to, I wouldn't manage to do it without them noticing.
that's all good and fine on paper but seriously, how would they ever know that the new add for McDonald's new menu item appeared beside hurrdrurr.com/the-one-with-midget-horse-and-tall-lady.html
There's a lot of clever tracking tools in the world
There's a possibility that the client may be a user of the porn site where he advertises.
More likely he's referring to the services people use to see where on the internet their ads are being displayed.
but who would ever admit to it? Gee, I was trying to jerk off to some porn yesterday and I found our ad on the site.
