SE Spiders Is There A Way To...

[Lee]

Stop the spiders from crawling partial areas of HTML code?

For instance if i have something towards the top of a page that i do not want to be crawled (because it might affect rankings) does anyone know of a way to have that omitted from the crawl but to also allow the rest of the HTML appearing on the page to continue to be crawled?

It'd be difficult, I'd imagine. These days Google, for one, pretty much spiders what it wants to spider on its own terms.

Yeah i hear ya on the Google issue.

It would potentialy be possible using .php and includes where a useragent hitting a page gets given specific controls over what i can and cant see although im probably the least technical person i know
