Need help removing site from google using noindex tag

    With the nature of my site, I don't have access to the server; and therefore can only remove it using the noindex tag instead of robots.txt. What would be the url I need to type in to remove the homepage?

    Insert the tag into the header tags of all the webpages.

    <head>
           <meta name="robots" content="noindex" />
    </head>
    Code (markup):
    But for this operation you will need access to your servers file... (ftp)

    If you can't do this, your only choice is trough webmaster central. Then URL removal...

    Cheers,

    Type the URL of the site, witch you wish to remove from index. Be sure to do this from your Webmaster Central!!!

    When I did that it came out doubled, ie http:/www.domain.com/http://www.domain.com

    This only seem to work when I'm removing the subpages of my site - ex. http://www.domain.com/secondpage. Then I can type that in. But if I leave the extension field after the / blank to tell it that it's the homepage, then it doesn't give me the choice to remove it with the noindex tag verification. Make sense?

    This doesn't answer my question: When I did that it came out doubled, ie http:/www.domain.com/http://www.domain.com

    This only seem to work when I'm removing the subpages of my site - ex. http://www.domain.com/secondpage. Then I can type that in.
