I know how to seal off part/all of a website. My question here is: if I let a search engine spider get to a page can I separate the page into 2 parts: allowed for spidering and DISallowed?

If yes, how do I accomplish that?

thanks,
dave
Dave we created a php script a while ago, where we could hide efficiently parts of our pages content. We took it down since Google announced that they perceive such as clocking and that they can spot such stuff with diffing using MD5 checksum.
I still don't believe that they really can, but we want to be on the safe side just in case.

About using Javascript I would also be careful. It is not 100% accurate information, that Google cannot read JavaScript at all.

Would you mind being more specific what exactly your problem is, so I can see if we can come up with a possible legitimate solution?
