There is a simple way to tell google to not index parts of your documents, that is using googleon and googleoff:

In this example, the second paragraph will not be indexed by Google. Notice the “index” parameter, which may be set to any of the following:

• index — content surrounded by “googleoff: index” will not be indexed by Google

  anchor — anchor text for any links within a “googleoff: anchor” area will not be associated with the target page

  snippet — content surrounded by “googleoff: snippet” will not be used to create snippets for search results

  all — content surrounded by “googleoff: all” are treated with all
