About as reliably as putting a "Keep off" sign on
your fence to keep
off thieves I'd think. I mean, it's up to the
search robot's programmer
if the robot even looks at the metatags or not.
A colleage of mine recently came up with a good
idea to confuse
search robots that are searching websites. Have a
look at the
email address you see (or don't see) at
http://www.pda-soft.de/ge_impressum.html
and try what happens if you enable / disable
javascript. I'd think
most current robots will fail here.
