Sites or their pages, which are in the results of search engines, sometimes cease to be relevant, contain any unwanted information, or were not originally created for public viewing. It also happens that the private data of users due to a flaw in the webmaster is in the public domain. It can be fixed.
Instructions
Step 1
Just delete the site - this is the simplest and most radical way and is suitable, of course, only if you no longer need the site. After a while after removal, search engines will stop showing it in the search results. To do this, you need to wait for the next reindexing. When accessing the address, an error 404 - "Page not found" will be displayed.
Step 2
To remove a specific page from the search results, include the meta tag in its html: code. Place the code inside the and tags.
Step 3
Close the site pages from indexing by editing the robots.txt file. It is located in the root folder of the site and is intended for search robots. In it, the webmaster specifies the parameters that the robot should adhere to when indexing pages. To remove a specific page from search, insert the following code in your robots.txt file: User-Agent: * Disallow: /index.html. To close a page, for example, from Yandex, specify this: User-agent: Yandex Disallow: /index.html. Wait for re-indexing - only after that the pages will disappear from the search. But if they have external links, this method may not work. In some cases, robots can ignore your instructions in the robots.txt file.
Step 4
Remove pages from the SERP by going to the sites of the search engines themselves. To remove a resource from Yandex, go to webmaster.yandex.ru/delurl.xml, enter the url of your page in the field and click Remove. To do the same on Google, go to the "Webmaster Tools" section after logging into your account.
Step 5
If you find some information about yourself on the Internet, but do not own the resource, contact the site administrator with a request to delete this data. As a last resort, you can contact the support service of the search engine itself.
