Sorry if "trick" meant really a trick/cheat. Well this is ONE of the official/legal way to do that. Assuming your content is duplicate and you do not want the spider to crawl the content, so to avoid this you put some meta tags along with the contents. This way you are telling the spider to look for the contents ONLY IN THE META TAGS and not to crawl the site for the content.
THIS IS ONE OF THE OFFICIAL WAY and IT IS ACCEPTABLE.
I am sure there are other wesbite designers/developers, SEO experts in the forum would agree with this too, that's a different story if they would or wouldn't like to share their knowledge and experience ;-)
The topic is too vast and is very difficult to discuss here.
