Getting Rid of Similar Pages (related links) resuts

Discussion in 'Google' started by Mara Linz, Aug 19, 2007.

    I finished today the updating of one of my sites and after google it I decided to check the results provided by the "Similar Pages" link below my listing.

    I found there an unrelated website, which not only has nothing to do with my business but belongs to a scammer I know and I will not like his site linked or associated to mine by any means.

    He is not linking back to my site but, years ago he did it. I'm wondering if that is the reason why Google associated him with me.

    Is there any way to get rid of that link? A way to submit a request to take it off? or a method to prevent Google doing such association?

    Your help, advice or thoughts will be much appreciated.

    Thanks scooby.

    No, that site has nothing to do with mine, different niche, different content and no links between each other so hope G take it out soon :)

    i have the same problem .

    but i n my opinion, google is choosing the related web sites according to the backlinks.

    and it does not update related: sites so quickly

    I see because, as I said, that site is not linking to me and obviously I'm not linking to it. Besides the content of both sites are totally unrelated.

    However my site is PR5 and that site is PR3 so I feel really angry. My site is not only associated with that of a scammer, but I'm fearing to pass him PR or at least notoriety :(
