I have an old member from my site requesting that his profile be removed from Google search as his keyword still comes up with his old profile, even though it has been deleted for a long time. The page does not deliver a 404, instead it is an automated page saying that the following profile does not exist, like on myspace. This person has threatened me with legal action if the url is not removed from Google search, despire my numerous attempts to remove it through Google Webmaster Tools. It keeps getting denied. Is there a way I can alter the htaccess to make this certain keyword deliver a 404? For example the profile used to be www.mylol.net/usersoldname Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!!!
Simple use robots.txt file User-agent: * Disallow: /usersoldname Code (markup): Also you can use .htaccess RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=13$ RewriteRule ^/usersoldname$ http://www.example.com/index.html? [L,R=301] Code (markup): This code will redirect the username page to index page.The username page should get removed from serp with those methods. I don't think he can do that as he was registered to your website.Is not your fauld because google don't remove the page when you tried that from google webmaster tools.
Hi, Using the robots.txt file is the best option . User-agent: * Disallow: /usersoldname I hope , it helps you.
