TT_Mark, robots.txt are cool, and thanks to your link i found this article:
http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2005/01/preventing-comment-spam.html
which reminded me of

rel="nofollow"

and it’s cool too, but it’s still easier to simply put *noindex* tag inside the element where those comments are going and be sure, that whole block won’t be indexed.

UPD: ahh, i remember the “problem” with noindex now!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noindex
Russian search engines Yandex and Rambler introduce a new tag which only prevents indexing of the content between the tags, not a whole Web page.


Do index this text block.
Don't index this text block

so that tag is only works with specified SE, which i don’t think anybody cares about.

damn, that’s a really nice tag :’-(
does anybody know a synonym for Google?
