hello

i have few links on my site that i don't want to be indexed by google

how can i close it from google indexation

1. make links
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.baddomain.com">

2. make link to www.baddomain.com with redirect (302) on my site and close access of this folder where is located redirect.php

for example link to www.baddomain.com will be www.mydomain.com/closed/redirect.php?1

and close access to this folder in robots.txt

Disallow: /closed/

3. make link in javascript
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="liks.txt"></script>


any advise will be appreciated

i don't think it's best choice.

for example i have links on my sponsor site, which (links, not whole page) i don't want to be indexed by google (u can read about supplemental results on another forums),

in ur case i must remove all pages, where are links to sponsor sites ?

u think it's good solution? and they will be back after 6 months.

robots.txt

I prefer using rel="nofollow". It's standards compliant and I haven't had a problem with it yet.

so u prefer the second method?

unfortunately i have indexed pages in google (even with cashe) which access is closed by robots.txt ... so i don't think it's 100% safe

>>>I prefer using rel="nofollow".

as i know (IMO), this tag tell google, that pls don't follow this link, but it don't mean , that google don't count this link?

As far as I understand, using nofollow will make it so that Google doesn't even know the site you're linking to exists.
