In short, LJ is using a javascript applet to change links to several vendors into clickthrough links they get referral money from. Even if you're a paid user.
To fix this, go to the second link above, or just type "set opt_exclude_stats 1" into the LJ console, right here.
Now, I understanding LJ needing to make money for hosting, paying employees, and so on, although I do wish that this did not apply to paid or permanent users....
UPDATE: It seems the staff has removed the code, for now at least.
