Code to prevent search engines from seeing

Hey whats up
Does anyone know if there is any code you can wrap around something so that the SEs don't see it? I want to put a frame on one of my pages but i don't want the SEs to see the frame.

Is this possible?

Thanks
John

Good question.

If you checked the cache (text only) of a page using an iframe you are not likely to see the text located within the iframe. Most folks will tell you that this indicates that the text located within an iframe is not indexed as part of the website where the iframe is included.

edit: Not certain if this is what you are even asking...

Adding the page or folder to robot.txt will do the trick however also use rel="no follow" in the iframe just to make sure:

Code:

<iframe 
src ="/page.asp"
width="100%" rel="nofollow">
</iframe>

I would not write the content in Java Script just in case SE develop the ability to do so.

You could use Javascript to only load the URL after the page has loaded.
