Ohyes, herenvardo, you're absolutely right there, it's cloaking allright. There´s a more civilized approach, which well-behaved searchengines and spiders accept:

<head>
<meta name="robots" content="index,nofollow">
</head>

The problem with this approach is that the nasty bots couldn't care less what you write in a meta-tag. Not all bots are good bots. Gbot is, so the metatag would be better advice in this case.

It is a catch-all, though - the "nofollow" will be the rule for all links on the page, not all links except the secret link to my personal photos, notes, or whatever.
