Hello!! I want to remove all my pages from google except index without losing positions. I have 2 good positions on index. I need to do that because i will change de script and the links will not look the same anymore. any suggestion? tnx allot Bary
I don't know what you can do to remove them quickly, but google will drop the pages if it sees that the pages are not available anymore.
I'm not sure, I may be asking the same question here(?) Please bear with me. I recently removed an inner page from my website that no longer had relevance. I just deleted it from my website software and uploaded the site again without that page. Maybe that was a wrong strategy? Now in Google Analytics it correctly shows that page with a "404 Not Found". Remembering that I've deleted the page from my website software, is there any way I can have Google de-index that page?
Use the Google Page Removal tool - Funny thing tho - it only lasts 6 months.. while the SI (supplemental index lasts 12) -- duh Anyways.. more here; Removal General; http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=35301 Removal - Part of a site; http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=35303
Great hint. Thanks. You were exactly correct, and here is the link to use in removing a dead link for a "404 Not Found" link. http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=35307&query=404+Not+Found&topic=&type= And thanks, Gypsy. I replied before seeing your post. The links are great.
1 . add the pages that you want to remove from G index 2. click on http://services.google.com:8882/urlconsole/controller?cmd=reload&lastcmd=login 3. select robots.txt option 4. write the url of your robots.txt file . finished your url will be removed from google index in a week
It takes some time, normally you need to wait google until the next update to see the result. Just make the inner page unreachable, or break the links, so when googlebot trys to crawl your page, it will show 404 error. And sooner or later, your page will be removed from google database.
