Not safe as such. It’s just a sneaky way of not increasing other people’s backlink count and not passing PR. So you link to them but in SE’s eyes you’re not getting a link back from their site. Some of the major sites do it this way which I’m not too fond of. They may also do it for tracking, but that will be secondary.

This is a link from my banner tracking program for Bingo Cafe.
It is done this way purely for tracking purposes.
Don’t ask me what it all means, but it counts clicks for me.
I have forwarding URLs for all my links – I send my traffic to xwww.YOURURL.com/PartyPoker.html which autoforwards to PartyPoker. It passes PR & counts as a link to that site (I believe) I simply do it for my own stats.
It’s a perl script for click tracking http://www.xav.com/scripts/axs/

Can’t you just use the rel=nofollow attibute if you don’t want to pass PR?
