Frustrating Link Issue wih PHP
Posted: Tue Mar 14, 2006 1:35 pm
Hi.
I've been trying to hide just one freaking url from search engines, including google. This is not for blackhat or being sneaky. I simply want to keep one link out of any index. The url is just a variable that is for USERS to change flash design theme. I don't want the engines indexing it.
Ohh.. and the link is in a image map.
I'v tried using php with USER AGENT strpos to check if google or msn or yahoo, and javascript to write the link html in, because I read search engines don't use javascript... so what the heck is my link doing in google.
Someone please tell me how to keep my link out of any and all search engines. No robots should see the link.
PHP... Javascript...???
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
