My website has links like:

<a href="messages.aspx">Messages<span>3</span></a>

Well google indexes these links as: Messages3

I have read some articles for preventing google from indexing some parts of the website like

<!--googleoff: index-->
<!--googleon: index>

tags but there are 2 problems:

1.This seems very odd to use lots of these tags and for a number 

    <!--googleoff: index-->
      0
    <!--googleon: index>

2.I want to know is there a way or a rule that would work for all search engines like bing and yahoo too.

    googleoff and googleon only works on Google Search Appliance, not normal search results, and for bing/yahoo nothing exists. You should also be aware that display results for users and different elements for search engines is a form of cloaking, which is obviously not permitted. You should tread carefully. It is however ok to hide content with authentication.

Best way is to use robots.txt. It works for all search engines.

As the content concerned:

Sometimes, there's a certain piece of content on a webpage (or a persistent piece of content throughout a site) that you'd prefer search engines didn't see. In this event, clever use of iframes can come in handy. The HTML Inline Frame Element () represents a nested browsing context, effectively embedding another HTML page into the current page.

For better understanding, here's the picture.

    well, you didn't read the question well. I don't want to prevent a page from being indexed. I just want to leave some words, and numbers out.

    aaa, sorry, I misunderstood. I'll add some edits (i'm using iframes for content), I'll write you down in a minute.
