Prevent text from getting indexed

  • I have a piece of text that I need to add in every post. However, I don’t want search engines to index it as a part of the post, since it is more of a request to the readers. Is it possible?

  • What you’re describing doesn’t sound like it would be easy/possible to do. Can you give some more details on what the text would be, and why it would need to be on every page?

    Most of my posts have affiliate links and hence it is a request to my readers to select the services through my affiliate links, and that is something I would like to be visible but not indexed

    That won’t be possible as far as I’m aware (though I’m prepared to be wrong).

    You can’t exclude one paragraph on a page from search engine indexing.

    What you could do is have the warning notice on a separate page, and exclude that page, but not the actual posts themselves. That would mean you wouldn’t be able to put them on every page however.
