How to stop Googlebot from reading a page

What is the HTML to stop Google from reading a page?

Can someone tell me what the HTML tag is that is used to prevent Googlebot from reading certain pages?

Thanks

Hi bokesch,

You can find a complete information on Robots meta tags at:

There are many different way to do this.

The best is disallow googlebot to a directory in the robots.txt since it will read this first (once per day or each visit).

User-agent: googlebot
Disallow: /directory/
