I'm using these two tags on a website, but they doesn't seem to work anymore?

Indexed by Google
<!--googleoff: index-->
Not indexed by Google
<!--googleon: index-->
Indexed by Google


When I search a page on Google and view the Cached version I can still see whats inside the tags?

Ealier when I was viewing a cached website the text inside the tags was not cached/indexed by Google..

Are the tags deprecated?

These tags are for the Google Search Appliance, not generic searching from public search engines. As Google tell us:


To prevent most search engine web crawlers from indexing a page on
your site, place the following meta tag into the section of
your page:

<meta name="robots" content="noindex">

To prevent only Google web crawlers from indexing a page:

<meta name="googlebot" content="noindex">


Note, this will apply to the whole page. The googleon/googleoff tags are not supported by Google's web-search at all.
