    Do you mean this?
    <a href="somelink.html" rel="nofollow">Some Link</a>.
    Code (markup):
    all you need to do is add rel="nofollow"

    Just to let you know the rel="nofollow" Action is handled differently by different search engines.

    * Google takes "nofollow" literally and does not "follow" the link at all. That is supposedly their official statement, but experiments conducted by SEOs show conflicting results. They show instead that Google does follow the link, but does not index the linked-to page, unless it was in Google's index already for other reasons (such as other, non-nofollow links that point to the page).[8] Links with NOFOLLOW are included in the back-links reporting data at Google's Webmaster Central.

    * Yahoo! "follows it", but excludes it from their ranking calculation.

    * MSN Search respects "nofollow" as regards not counting the link in their ranking, but it is not proven whether or not MSN follows the link.

    * Ask.com does not use the attribute for anything.

    Thank you wikipedia for saving me the time of typing all that out.

    Hope that is helpful.
