What does it mean when someone adds ?ref=example.com to the end of a link?

Someone added a link to my site on their blog but instead of just adding the link, they added a ref link to their site at the end http://mysite.com/?ref=theirsite.com

What does this mean for Google? Do they count this as a clean backlink?

Thank you!
