Only Google.. It is a good idea if you want to avoid a (traceable) visit
while actually making one. I have seen sites linking to the cache of a page
rather than the original because, not only does that not credit the article
(like rel="nofollow"), but it also prevents any visit from the ego fairy,
depriving the unfavoured vocation.
Best wishes,
