Inden der nu går flame i den så prøv lige at læse dette indlæg først:

Well, the benefits (listed in the replies above and all over the net)
  are seemingly quite obvious:
1. It actually gives you more control over privacy if adopted, since
   you can turn it off.  You can't turn off redirect links which are
   already used all over the web.
2. It makes URLs more obvious to end-users.
3. You can get to the destination site, even if the tracking script
   fails or goes offline.
I can't actually think of disadvantages to list, so you'll have to think 
up your own to refute these benefits.
