Hi there, Does anyone know what is the fastest way to clear the page information in Google's cached of a page. Is it by deleting the page completely or is it by replacing the page with a blank page? Any ideas?
i m not sure but once google have cached your page it will be there in its database.and its crawler frequently index the pages as u will add some content or do some changes.so when its crawler find some updated things it will replace the existing page with new one.
so if the crawler crawls the page and find that it no longer exist, will it remove the content from their database?
usually the previous crawl page will still exist in the database atleast for some time , even if the page is taken off
I am not sure about remove or replace current cache but you can add meta tag to prevent cache on google <meta name="robots" content="index, follow, noarchive" />
google will take some time to remove your page after u have delete those pages.when google data refresh take place it will remove those content.
Here is my searched information just you for but I can't post links in this forum yet so just follow my links "Google allows you to clear and remove pages from Google web search cache. Google updates its entire index automatically on a regular basis. If Googlebot encounters a "Not Found" 404 error page, it doesn't crawl it further and deletes the outdated link from the next crawl..." from http labnol dot blogspot dot com/2005/09/clear-google-web-cache-delete-404.html here use this site but you must be signed in google. http services dot google dot com/urlconsole/controller
Yes! Once google doesn't find a page in few of its visit to index, it will remove it from its Index automatically after some times.
