Hi all.
I have a link to a currency converter on some of my web pages and I would like to stop it from being indexed by Google, Bing, etc.
Is there a way of put some code in the HTML object where I have the link to prevent that link from being indexed?
If so what would I put in there?
Thank you much in advance.
Jerry

This is one of the pages I am talking about.

Although not directly related to the programme there is two ways to do this. 1) Use a robot.txt file or 2) add a rel=”nofollow” or rel="noindex" attribute to the <a> tag. It is recommended that you use one of the nofollow/noindex as Google sees the link as a possible sponsored/paid link and can drop it from the search engines results page. You can read more about using the robots.txt method by searching Google.

Thank you for getting back to me.
You'll have to forgive me.. I just an old fart trying to keep my website going and I don't know much about all this..
Can I put the nofollow before the link like this? rel="nofollow" http://www.bankofcanada.ca/rates/exchan ... converter/
I just type it in before the link?
Thanks again

Thanks... I found the answer in this post Can google crawl text within a button
Thanks again

Ok.. I have that figured out for the objects.
But I can't quite figure out to use the rel="nofollow" on a text link??
Thanks again

This is a bit of a kludge which I use in a Text Menu but I think it works with a simple text link:
Add the nofollow option to the Hyperlink URL property as follows:

e.g. http://www.example.com" rel="nofollow

N.B. No closing "
It generates <a href="http://www.example.com" rel="nofollow">...text...</a>

As WWBman has mentioned. Or you can do this. If it is just a single line of text the do this highlight the text this will then trigger the link function we then select this which in turn opens a new window named Edit Hyperlink now select HTML type rel="nofollow" click OK and you will now have a text link with the rel="nofollow" inserted

Thanks Baconfries, I'd completely missed that method which is far better than my kludge.

Your welcome

Ah, I went to update my link but I've only used the rel="nofollow" in one Text Menu entry and unfortunately there's no Object HTML per menu entry so I'll have to leave my kludge asis for the Text Menu link.

Pity about this might be a good suggestion to be put forward to the main man to see if this could be implemented if at all possible.

Unless I dreamt it, I think when I first wanted to do this, many moons ago, I did put it in the suggestions section.
It wasn’t particularly urgent so I guess it’s way down Pablo’s list, which is fine with me.

Thanks both of you for helping an old guy out.. much appreciated.
