Yahoo have a new robots-nocontent tag (http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearch/slurp/slurp-14.html) whereby you can block specific content on individual pages.
When I first heard about it I thought if you have content on a page that you want to block then you should just delete it but when I read the article the tag makes sense.
We have sites that are regulated and we have to add footer content stating this on every page and you could argue that it's lowering the relevance of that page, especially if you have copyright
Anyway, you can use it like this;
<div class="robots-nocontent">Non relevant footer text goes in here....</div>
Yahoo have led the way on these tags in the past. It'll be interesting to see if Google and MSN follow suit.
