Of course, the acid test is to take the $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERRER"] out of the
equation.

Create a page that is not indexed or linked from any other sites and then
change the target of your ad to point to this page. You would probably want
to put a separate hit tracking script on this page followed by a simple
header redirect to your main page. Then, since ONLY clicks from the ad site
will result in hits on this special page, it will be very easy to determine
if their claim is exaggerated or not.

Please post your findings if you decide to do this...
