i had a domain name + hosting that i was using as a personal blog but it wasn't working out (i didn't get time to post much). now i've set up another site on it - me and a group of friends are trying to maintain content on it now. the old pages are still indexed in the search engines. i've submitted a new sitemap to google. how long before you think the old pages will drop out? any way to facilitate this?
include a robots.txt that disallows google, then fill out a site removal form. personally though I wouldn't care about the old site being in google and would redirect traffic to the new site via a 301-- still get your old traffic, still get the link popularity you accrued.
Why don't you update the old pages and inlcude links to new ones? The new pages will, however. eventually make it to the index (with the right mix).
write your pages that you want google to drop on your robots.txt file . go http://services.google.com:8882/urlconsole/controller and use "removing pages with robots.txt file" option that's all . google will drop this pages in 3-5 days
Yup... I also own a hosting Co among oter things... just trying to figure out how to help by identifying options (.htaccess et al)
the site is the same - i mean lets say i had abc.com running a wordpress blog uptil a month ago. now i have a new site on abc.com. the wordpress pages are still showing up when i search for the pages on google (site:abc.com).
LAMP. you think i should use htaccess to redirect them to my new pages? i'm already using a lot of mod rewrite.
