Restricting Google on my terms
A while back, I posted a request to Google. I said, “Google, please give me a way to mark up my pages to let your GoogleBot know what to index and what not to index on my site.” Point being that a lot of the stuff on my home page and on weblog entries should not be indexed. I want to decide what Google indexes— not at the page level, but at the paragraph level.
Since Google ignored my plea, I set out to do it myself. After all, it’s my server that is giving Google all this information, so can’t I just limit what I expose to them?
