There have been a lot of discussion about, indexing and DE-indexing of content. Will i have a couple of answers to my questions. I run a blog with few post in it. All indexed by Google,due to some reason i had to close the blog, and unload all the content. So my questions are 1) After unloading will that content get DE indexed? 2) Will it get indexed again if i re publish it....i mean will that be considered as original content? Thanks in advanced.
I think after you remove your content when Google will crawl your site it will remove you from Index and when you will publish content again then Google will crawl again and will put you in Indexing according to that time circumstances. GCS
You can use redirects ... Or request Google from Webmasters Tools to remove the content and edit your robots.txt file to block bots access!
I agree with the above suggestion that after the removal, you should first request google to de-index your content on the old blog from their archive, so that when you publish the same again after a while, google can treat it as an original content! Regards, RightMan
Thanks to all for their suggestions...I now understand that after unloading the content, I must send removal request to Google through WMT...so that next time when I ll publish it, Google will treat it as original But a new question arises, what if somebody is using my content right now but has been treated as duplicate, so not in Google index...will it have a benefit after I took it off from my site??? a lil tricky but I am sure DPers will have some answer
Nice and thanks for your reply! Now tell me one thing - If i write an article and submit it to ezine. Now if i want to sell that article then i need to de-index it from SE so that the publishing rights can go to someone else. Is that possible?
Google does index all the content...original or otherwise. It simply determines the originality with the age of the content and so if you removed your content of it, the content next in line would be considered original and not yours, if you uploaded it again, at a later date! Regards, RightMan
Wrong. Google does not care how old a piece of content is, it's the authority of the page and domain which determines what version is displayed highest.
