Grab the 'Customize Google' extension for firefox and you can disable the javascript that gets injected in to track. They do it on the search results too :-( http://chrisnolan.ca/archive/ID/599 for more info.

So while I agree that it’s kind of sneaky, and while I don’t neccessarily agree with the practice of tracking such information in general, I also want to say that it solves the #1 technical problem I have with most “modify the URL to track clicks” schemes: it defeats the “visited link” feature of my web browser. This method of modifying the link as I click it allows my browser to recognize these urls as places I’ve already been, but still allow Google to get the information.
