Remove URL from Google - Help!

Google has indexed a development URL for my web site and people are trying to place orders through it...it's getting messy fast! How do I request that Google removes the URL from its index as the links do not work and should not come up for searches?

Cans someone send me any information on this or send me to a link to remove the URL?


Thank you in advance

 

add a no index to your robot text file

 

You should exclude it in your robots.txt and Google will remove it.

 

No index would be best way

 

is there a way to send the URL to Google for removal?

 

please search a little next time

I did search and came across that exact page but it did not tell me where to send the URL that I want removed...thanks for trying though

 

Google Webmasters tools has the option once you prove you are the owner of the site.

 

adding them to your robots.txt file is a better option for you

 

Of course better choice is making change in robots.txt.

Write in robots.txt these codes

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

Code (markup):

and upload it in your root directory.

 

Go to Google Webmasters tools, you will see an option to remove it from google search engine. In order to exclude from all search engines. you should have a rebots.txt file

 

Have you submitted a sitemap to Google? Just type out a list of URL's of the pages you WANT google to crawl one on each line of a txt file. In addition, you can add in rel="no follow" to your links to those pages (if that be the case). And the robots.txt file is a good idea, too. For now, I suggest you just make the form go to a different page, and make the current page a redirect to your homepage.
