How to block index of link and content

[AlexisWithers]

Hi,

We have pages where articles are shown and in the sides we have small snippets of Articles which shows the title and close to 25 words and a image. When i search for something in Google the snippet image and content is shown and in Google when clicked it redirects to a page which is not meant to be shown for the keyword the visitor is querying

Is there a way i can block all the links and content shown in the right and left side of the page so Google does not get confused with the page content thats not related to that page?

thanks

you cannot noindex only portions of content on a page.

your best bet is to iframe it and noindex the iframe source

Or, you could surround those snippets with a

<nav>tag (HTML 5), so that Google will understand it's only navigation and not content of the page itself.

</nav>

ehhh. 1) his is dynamically generated and will change frequently 2)

<nav>is a suggestion.. doesn't mean google will follow it</nav>
