Making sure a link is not a link.

[bouncybunny]

Not what the header might initally have said this topic was about.

I want to make a very prominent link to a site from one of my web sites, but I don't want SEs to be able to follow the link. Or even recognise that the link even exists.

It is for a graphical banner advert and the client is paying for the advert on my relevent site, not for the link recommendation or PR value. That's clearly understood.

I don't want to use a "nofollow" attribute, for various reasons. I simply want the search engine spiders to be oblivious to the existence of a link to another site being there. What is the best way to do this?

Thanks.

Bots will not find this link and it will render perfectly in your browser.
