best way to do title etc on included content?

I have a footer plus several navigation lists that are included content.
They work fine but now I'm wondering how to deal with page title,
description, etc. I don't want anyone to view just these fragments of a
page. I want search engines to see the navigation content so they'll find
pages inside the site. But I don't want viewers to see the included content
pages by themselves. So do I just skip giving these pages any description?
Use a title that makes it clear that they're just part of other pages? TIA
 
I normally title them as to what they are. However I add the
noindex,nofollow meta tag to the include pages.
<meta NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="noindex,nofollow">

Included content is actually written to pages using it at publish time,
therefore the search bots really don't need to crawl the include pages to
follow the navigation, as it is actually *in* the pages.

Now the interesting / confusing part. If you open a page with included
content in FrontPage and look at html view, the included content isn't
there, also if you open the live site with FrontPage and look at the page in
html view it doesn't show there either. This is a result of a little
FrontPage *magic.*

But, if you open the page in the browser and view source, it is there.!!!
The browser version is what the search engines see.

This is an interesting feature...can it be used to hide stuff...like email addresses maybe?

don't worry about it. FrontPage only includes the content between the
<body> and </body> tags.
that's why people sometimes have a hard time getting JavaScript stuff to
work with them since the default location for the JavaScript or the ref. to
it is in the <head></head> section.

nope.

But the best trick I've seen to hide an email addy was to embed it in a
little javascript.
It was posted awhile back but I wasn't smart enough to save it.

If the search engines can read it, then it seems as if any robot could - so
I don't think it could hide email addresses. But maybe I misunderstood your
idea.

Not the one I was talking about. It was a little script posted here, which
contained the parts of the email address as variables. When the email
*link* was clicked, the function in the script *assembled* the email
address.

I think it was ronx that posted it.

can't see how it'd be any better than the hiveware thingy. one might even
save their code into the "clip library" and just swipe it out whenever
needed. (I don't have a clip library, well, not in fp at least.)
 
Actually it's much better, as it's about 3 lines of script.

I did not post the script originally, but it would be something like this:

<p>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" >
var usr="ronx917",dmn="hotmail.com";
document.write("<a href=\"ma" + "ilto:");
document.write(usr + "@" + dmn + "\">");
document.write("email:" + usr + "@" + dmn + "</a>");
</script>
&nbsp;</p>
