How can I stop google from showing a page on search results ? I want to take this page out of search results but it isnt my site. What can I do ? Thanks
you can't just remove a page if you could, why wouldn't we all be doing it? Try and outrank it with your site
The thing is it shows my personal details there such as phone number etc. And now the whole world can see it, anyway I now sent an email to the site owner. Any more suggestions ?
Not sure Google really cares. You can also put loads of links from porn, hacking and warez sites to this page.
If you sign up to gmail or yahoo email services and give away your personal details it isnt indexed on google, right ? So I guess this is a private information that is kept between you and service provider, so yea I think it is an abuse. Fix me anyone if Im wrong.
I guess the abuse question depends on what your information is there for. Any of us can search the phone book and your details are there. Also there are tons of directories listing contact information for people in certain businesses (real estate agents etc.) So, if you ripped someone off and they are posting your information as their sort of revenge, it probably isn't abuse. If, on the other hand, they are accusing you of being a child molester it probably is abuse. Sure, report them to google, but don't expect much. I would perhaps consider getting other pages to rank for the same query in order to push them down the results to where no one finds the offending page.
If there were a way, I wouldn't mind spending hours and hours removing every single page from my competitor's sites
Maybe you can email the other person and ask them nicely to take down their site because you want to rank good for a keyword. I'm sure if you are sincere enough he'll do it.
Eek, then people will be calling him/her and thinking it's a porn star that sells illegal software (maybe that's a good thing)!!
If it is your name and address and telephone number, then all that is can be found from multiple sources...
Just try to contact the site owner gently and explain your reason for not showing that page in the index, He might be nice and remove it for you.
