Hi,

Not really in your HTML but you can ban all well behaved bots through your robots.txt file.

Start here to learn all about it:

Here's a couple of resources from Search Engine World [searchengineworld.com]:

Robots.txt Tutorial [searchengineworld.com]

Robots.txt is a "suggestion" to honorable robots.
As dmorrison referred to as "well behaved."

The malicious robots in most instances won't even read your robots.

htaccess is a control.
