does “googleon/googleoff” work?

So I’m in search of a means to make Google’s search crawl see specific Event information. The problem is that even with a clear JSON-marked page, sometimes Google scrapes other information from a page and smashes it together with the JSON Event info. Solution? Maybe it will work with “googleon” and “googleoff” tags… I found an article that refers to these tags and how to use them, so I thought I’d give it a try here. Even though this is not an Event post, so far, this entire paragraph should be indexed.

So the following two bullet points are examples of “googleoff” and “googleon”:

  • This is normal content that should be indexed by Google. “googleoff” follows this bullet point.
  • This un-noteworthy content should NOT be indexed by Google. “googleon” follows this bullet point, so the next paragraph should be indexed.

We’re back to “googleon”, or allowing Google to index, with this paragraph! In theory, running this post through a testing tool should not scrape contents between “googleoff” and “googleon” tags.
