    How can i exclude some text from my website to appear in search engine ?

    I have a paragraph on my homepage that I want search engine to read first but before that there are few links (menu,etc). Is there any possibility that I can hide those links(text) from being put in my description when google visits my site.

    You can not :D You can only try put this paragraf in description section ! Becouse Google setting up different descriptions in SERPS depends on keyword what You search :) Google firstly checking Your description TAG if NOT find keywords what You search Gbot searching this keyword in Your contentn if Find put some sentece from content to SERP description IF not put description tag only ;)

    actually, you can't do this, google has its own way on what to show on your site's description in SERP. it could be on your meta description or the actual text content on the site itself.

    If it's a specific directory or file(s) you can easily do it with /robots.txt or meta tags. If it's a paragraph, then you should have no luck :) Unless you make it as an image :)

    I am not sure that it will do the trick for you but if you paste the text in an image with the background same as the page it will not be indexed as text by google and chances are that even if the image is indexed by google it will be nearly impossible to search. You can use the hot points feature on the image to make various links clickable as you see here on Luvcube.com (Look at the top and next to the logo several menu items are clickable). I made this design for aesthetic reasons not to hide anything from the search engines.

    Would be best to create a unique description for your Meta Description tags. Inside these, you should place the text that you want to appear in your listings on the search engines results.

    Without them, or if you use the same description tag for all pages, Google usually reverts to using a fragment of text from your page.

    You can't hide those links. Google display those links because there's a connection with the users query.

    If you put the links later in the code then use CSS to position them I think they will not be used as the description.
    Also make sure your metatag description is more than 6/7 words if you want that to be used instead of the menu items.

    Your nav menu is rarely used as your site description by search engines because they are (should be) phrases, not sentences.

    It is possible .... But don't know it is illegal or not... here is the idea... use with your own risk... :)
    1 st option - you can position your menu to the bottom of the page with css menus.
    2 nd option - you can use div tags to load menu with the javascript onload function . Since search engines can't execute javascript , it can't read your menu and links.....

    It's possible, you just need to use Javascript to create your menus and the links. I use the Tigra menu system because it's free to use, looks good, and works on all browsers.

    The good thing about this method is that the links and anchor text are hidden to the search engines. The bad thing about this method is that the links and anchor text are hidden to the search engines.

    Therefore, you need to link to those pages using some other method, such as an HTML sitemap. Link to the HTML sitemap from your homepage.
