I have some pages on my public website that display charts generated by ASP.NET Chart controls. How can I prevent them from being indexed by Google and other search engines?

When you configure the chart control you can setup the location that information is saved to, then simply setup a Robots.txt file to disallow indexing of content from that folder.
More information on Robots.txt to disallow image indexing can be found here.

Maybe there's no other way, but doing this in a robots.txt doesn't make for a very cohesive development experience for our particular situation. Currently, we don't do anything in our robots.txt. It'd be nice if there was something equivalent to a rel="nofollow" for images. That would make these chart snippets a lot more portable. – Larsenal Feb 22 '10 at 18:58

You can create a Robots.txt file. I believe most major search providers honors this.
