Google`s New Content Removal Tools
(Page 1 of 4 )
Are you looking for some tools that give you a little more control over what shows up in Google's SERPs? Apparently you're not alone; the search giant has created a number of new tools that let webmasters remove content from the SERPs. Let's take a look at what they can do for you.
Danny Sullivan noted the release of several new tools to allow webmasters to remove content from the SERPs. I saw this article after I noticed that my brother put some personal information on one of his sites. I am finding the tools quite useful, though I have not removed the offending page yet.
The tool can be used by webmasters to remove specific pages and also images. This can be used to complement your Robot Exclusion protocols. If some files escape your robots.txt file and your Meta content values, simply stroll over to Google's webmaster tools page and click on the Dashboard option. Note that you must be a verified member of the webmaster page to use the Dashboard option. To be a verified member of the dashboard page you will be asked to supply a specific file from your website (or add a meta content value in your home page).
I will do an overview first, since I assume that there are some people who do not know about this set of tools and would like to make use of their functions.
