Or another way is to create a empty div tag and populate the content of the div via javascript/jquery.

document.getElementbyid('divid').innerhtml.value = "bla bla bla"


The code's syntax may not be correct but the idea will work. Bots dont pick JavaScript dynamic values. You can call a function on page load and use the above code to populate your

Bascially, such a will be empty when you 'view source' the page.

First on: googleoff works only in google custom search appliance.

for your goal there are only pretty limited possibilities:


instead of div you can put your content from the div into an image (button as an imagemap link)
another way is to encode the content with base64 and to hide then the decoding javascript from Google
you can load the div content from an external file with an iframe. The external file should be noindex-ed.
