Is there a way we can tell search engine robots to ignore one specific page on the website but still crawl the rest of the site?
Everytime (i think) Goolge crawls my site the robot submits my online booking form with junk filled into the fields. but always with a gmail email address.

I use Matt Wright's FormMail Pearl script to submit the form.
Thanks

Either place a CAPTCHA (http://bokehman.com/captcha_verification) script on the form, or use the robots.txt (http://www.google.com/search?q=robots.txt) file to prevent the bot from going there.

Thank you very much Bathurst_guy. I will first go the robots.txt route and if that does not work, I will try the captcha
Thanks for the links.
