          Wonderful solution. Don't know why I didn't think about it myself. Thanks a lot!

          If anyone has the same problem and want the buster on all pages you can use:

          if (top.location!= self.location) { top.location = self.location.href }

          I only needed it for one page. Will be interesting to see how long they will feature us. One thing though, if the visitors of the other site has javascript disabled, this won't work.

                I have added google maps to my site in a iframe. Will that cause me seo problems?

                    Amazing answer!

                    One question, though.  How will this come across on GA?  Will it show as a referral from the site with the iFrame?

                      Before the change I could see them under Traffic -> referral. I'm not sure how it will be shown now, I have to get back to you regarding that when I have gotten a couple of visitors.
