Indexing and cache problems

    I hope it is in the write place.
    My site compare-forex.com has been hacked, it was inserted with some scripts that produced spam links to other sites.
    I cleaned the site, improved the security and now is all ok now except the spammy links are still in the Google index. I tried to remove these URLs from index but it was denied (it says: "The content you submitted for cache removal appears on the live third-party page."). What should I do to remove them? Should I just wait? I waited for month now and nothing changed!!

    One more thing I noticed is that all pages where spammy links are cached and all other pages are not cached but indexed. You can see it here:
    http://www.google.com/search?q=site:compare-forex.com

    Here is the example of one of the cached pages:
    http://209.85.129.132/search?q=cach...em+site:compare-forex.com&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=15

    So, how can I fix this issue?
    Thank you,
    Vadim

    You should get those pages deindexed to get the cached copy removed. :)

    You could add a <meta name="ROBOTS" content="NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW"> link to the head of each page that has the spam linke - then once the links have been removed from Google's index and cache remove it and let the pages get re-indexed.

    It's a common error occurred at removal of pages in Google indexing.

    To delete things directly from the Google cache you must first make the required page/s send a 404 message. Then when you manually delete them using WM Tools they will go away. Now that you have already deleted the old site it will be difficult for you to do this!

    If you still have access to the old site you can put a global stop in the .htaccess file by "Disallow" all robots. This has the same effect as individual 404 and will allow you to delete pages in WM Tools

    The actual pages are clean and doesn't contain spammy links any more, the problem is that these spam links are still in the google index.
    I waited for month now but nothing happened. I thought Google will re-index these pages but it still didn't happened.

    There is other thing - all pages that had spam links on them have no closing slash in their URL in Google index:
    mysite.com/spammy-page

    So if I delete this page from Google index does it mean the page with closing slash (mysite.com/spammy-page/) will be deleted as well?

    Thank you
