How do I remove a link about myself from a Google search?
newcottagecreations asked:
If you do a search on Google for my name, a hateful website comes up describing a problem I had years ago that has since been resolved. Is there any way to get google to block that site so it does not come up on websearches?

i don’t think you can do anything about it
whats your name
The only way to stop this is to report the site to the authorities. They may be able to close it down.
Email Google directly with a link to the site and with in 5 to 6 weeks they will remove it.
I write and had to do the same thing when a fan posted my home address on line, Google and Yahoo resolved it very quickly.
PS: In my case the page on that site had already been deleted but was showing up in ‘cache’ on Google and Yahoo searches.
give my points thanks
No, but you can buy the domain name of the site and turn it off, or just delete the mention of your name.
One thing for certain is DO NOT click on that site, because it will keep the site’s metrics high and keep it from dying a natural death.
Don’t sweat it too much.
no
Not unless you can get google to remove it.
Google, as good as it is , relies on a cache of stored data
Even if they removed it today it will be stored on the current cache
And the problem is that other search engines will find and store it.
It a nightmare and a blessing.
On top of that there are stored versions of webpages in caches ( services)
Wayback machine
Here are two links for the “google url removal service:
It removes the link for 180 days
Maybe they can even delist the website
Do it as soon as possible
You can also try here
You will have to create an account at google
If you have a gmail account you can use that
or set one up with your yahoo account
If you want to check if it has spread to other search engines you can use a multiple search engine ( metasearch engine)
such as dogpile or clusty. Dogpile would be better
Yours is the first case I have heard of this.
The search engines and the web are a double edged sword . Wonderful for good or … for evil and bad
