Hi

I want to pull in some content onto every page of my site using a javascript with src="http://www.myother domain.co.uk/cgibin/page.cgi?...etc. etc.

I don't want the content indexed or the link acknowledged in anyway. It's a small bit of 'news', which I post everyday on another site I run, which would be good to have on this site.

I'm concerned Google may see a link from every page to the other site... looking like an affiliate link, Stopping googlebot is one thing, but any spider they may send I want stopped. I don't trust robots.txt to stop them snooping around, nor 'nofollow' in the meta's.

How can I 100% stop the link appearing in the source code of the page and definately not be found by a spider!

We are using iframes to include external content. This has two advantages:
- the uptime of our pages doesnt't depend on the availability of external content
- Google doesn't count the content to be "onpage"
