Want to nofollow Drop down Categories

[sunnyujjawal]

One my one deals sites I had a drop down list of categories e.g Books
If some one search in Google "Books deals" and instead of that internal books page Google show my home page for every category search results taking some text from homepage content.

Is there any way i can stop these search results and Google start displaying that proper targeted page? OR any way to nofollow these drop down categories.

It sounds to me as if nofollow isn't your answer sunnyujjawal. If I understand it right, you want someone searching for "book deals" to land on the "books" category index, right? In which case, I would build stronger internal links to the category index pages and make sure that the text on them is unique (ie: not like wordpress category pages with snippets).

Google is notorious for not wanting to send traffic to a category page directly and nofollow isn't your answer.

You need unique content on the category page (the links are showing snippets which are also on the index and in the article correct?) and preferably it needs to look like anything but a typical wordpress-esque category page.

Create a template for individual category pages and provide additional information about the subject that isn't covered elsewhere in the site.

You definitely DON'T want to nofollow those menu links. That attribute would remove any PageRank flowing to the internal URLs, the ones that you actually want to rank - and that would make it harder for them, not easier.
