someone guide me please on how to remove image index from google search. i read a post that say i have to place the following robots.txt file in my server root: User-agent: Googlebot-Image Disallow: / What if i uploaded already a robots.txt file that contains a text like this: User-agent: * Disallow: /cgi-bin Disallow: /wp-admin Disallow: /wp-includes Disallow: /wp-content sitemap: http://mysite.com/sitemap.xml.gz what will i do?
To remove all the images on your site from our index, place the following robots.txt file in your server root: User-agent: Googlebot-Image Disallow: / Code (markup):
Sorry forgot to answer your question, robots.txt should be: User-agent: * Disallow: /cgi-bin Disallow: /wp-admin Disallow: /wp-includes Disallow: /wp-content sitemap: http://mysite.com/sitemap.xml.gz User-agent: Googlebot-Image Disallow: / Code (markup):
ok thanks. i'll try this one. so the images that was indexed by google will be removed? how many days before it will be removed? or the robots.txt will take effect only on next images i'll post?
Maybe google knows how many days will keep them. You can also try Google Webmaster Tools to remove URLs.
