Web Designers take note.

If you're not familiar with the Google Toolbar autolink feature, you should read-up on the matter. It's kind of like the Micro$oft 'Smart Tags' fiasco all over again. Unfortunately, there's no simple shutoff feature for designers to use like the M$ one (meta tag). The only current option is to use a script to remove those links. Threadwatch.com has copies of the script in JS, PHP, Perl, ASP, and ASP.net.

Zeldman has a note about it in his blog that's worth reading: Protect your site from Google’s new toolbar

If you can, use Google's feedback form to request the meta tag shutoff.
