  • 0

I’ve a case on my Hand where I must be super duper sure that google (or any yahoo / bing for that matter) does not index specific content, so the more redundant, the better.

As far as i know there are 3 Ways to accomplish that, I wonder if there are more (redundancy is key here) :

  1. set meta tag to no-index
  2. disallow affected url structure in robots.txt
  3. post load the content via ajax

So if that are all methods, good, but it would be just dandy if someone has some Idea how to be even more sure 😀

(I know thats a little bit insane, but if the content shows up in google somehow it will get really expensive for my company :’-( )

    uh, there are a lot more

    a) identify googlebot (works similar with other bots)
    http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=80553
    and don’t show them the content

    b) return these pages with an HTTP 404 / HTTP 410 header instead of HTTP 200

    c) only show these pages to clients with cookies / sesssions

    d) render the whole content as image (and then disalow the image)

    e) render the whole content as an image data URL (then a disalow is not needed)

    f) user pipes | in the URL structure (works in google, don’t know about the other pages)

    g) use dynamic URLs that only work let say for 5 minutes

    and these are just a few on top of my mind … there are propably more
