Cloaking

[Shikarnov]

Hi all,

I could use some help...

I'm looking to start my a business, with the eventual goal of removing myself from my current partnership... But until I'm ready to do that, I don't want, when people Google my name, for the new company website to appear.

Is there any way that I can cloak the name so that search engines will ignore it, while allowing it to remain visible for my site visitors. I've seen lots of email cloaking scripts, but nothing for simple text.

Any ideas you have would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

If anybody is interested, I just used a Javascript to replace the text inside a span. I don't know if Google will ignore the script's action, but I guess time will tell.

function decloak() {
document.getElementById("cloakedspan").innerHTML="Shikarnov";
document.getElementById("cloakedspan").textContent="Shikarnov";
}

You can add a meta tag for no index / no follow. Just google it to get the code.

I thought about it, but I do want the page indexed. I just don't want this page to appear when somebody searches for my name.
