Is there a way to show random blocks of text to users without it affecting SEO? Cloaking for good?

My client has a pretty creative idea for his web copy.  In the body of his page there will be a big block of text that contains random industry related terms but within that he will bold and colorize certain words that create a coherent sentence.  Something to the effect of "cut through the noise with a marketing team that gets results".  Get it?

So if you were to read the paragraph word-for-word it would make no sense at all.  It's basically a bunch of random words.  He's worried this will affect his SEO and appear to be keyword stuffing to Google.

My question is: Is there a way to block certain text on a webpage from search engines but show them to users?  I guess it would be the opposite of cloaking?  But it's still cloaking...isn't it?

In the end we'll probably just make the block of text an image instead but I was just wondering if anyone has any creative solutions.

Thanks!

You could put the content in an iFrame and then noindex the iFrame (or robot.txt it). That way you are not allowing Google to browse that part of the page as it is actually from another page you are blocking.

I honestly like the image option.  I think you have more options that way to make it "pretty" and it also keeps it pretty much out of Google.  Google can do some OCR work, but could not see why it would penalize you are you are trying to hide keyword stuffing  The solution with the iFrame would for sure keep it out.

Good luck!

Marvin,

I would post this as a graphic with a description of the graphic that presents the message you want indexed. In this way your random copy will not be indexed but you will be able to get the terminology you want indexed.
