How to block part of a page - Siloing

[Dj Morri]

Hi there,

I would like to know the effective way to block part of unrelated content on a section/page, that would be frames ?

Or any special code inside the frames? How can I block that content?

Yeah actually you can use a tag to block part of a page from being indexed at Yahoo. not sure if/when other SEs will support it. Doing this uses a "class=robots-nocontent" attribute.

Here's some info

Since only Yahoo (I think) supports it, I do it the old fashioned way. You could use an iframe (with that page blocked) but better I think is to just put that content into an image.

missed this,


>Or any special code inside the frames? How can I block that content?

Yeah, if you go with a frame, use robots.txt to block the url of the framed page,or, use a noindex tag on the framed page.
