: Hide some area (sidebar/footer) from googlebot. causing any SEO problem? For example, I have a product page http://www.myshop.com/product/iphone.html in this page, normal users will see: content
For example, I have a product page
www.myshop.com/product/iphone.html
in this page, normal users will see:
content area (about the iPhone itself)
sidebar links (links to other products: HTC, Samsung)
footer area (about the seller)
but googlebot only see content area. I hide sidebar links and footer area from googlebot.
I do this so that if someone google 'htc site:myshop.com', he/she will not see that iPhone page in search results.
Will this cause any SEO problem? (I'm afraid google consider this as cheating their googlebot and punish the website)
