Directories and tracked pages in google

I am seeing a lot of my urls listed in SERPs but they are including the tracking code of a particular advertiser. Obviously I am paying for these clicks I would imagine... how they keep tracking would be interesting to find out.

for example:
do a search for forex trading... the refcofx listing is a referral from an advertiser.

and then there is this one... another weird one and how it occurs I have no idea.
do a search for forex... the first listing though giving the forexdirectory url is an ad for us (fxcm.com) which no doubt we are paying for.

Any ideas guys????

301s

It sounds like these links are using 301 redirects.

I don't think they are 301 redirects.... forexdirectory has held the spot at one for awhile... I think the owner has finally seen a way to monetize that beyond the advertising on the site and have a decent advertiser get the exposure and keep adding more ads.
We are not likely to jump from this site as long as we are getting the referrals.
