How To Remove Site Pages From Google

By Bill Hartzer

This is only one seo tip out of many search engine optimization tips I have been providing over the years. All of my search engine optimization tips are meant to be specific, they should not take too much time to implement, and are meant to be directly to the point. This search engine optimization tip has to do with removing a page or a specific URL from the Google search engine.

In this blog post, I am not going to give you a log of explanation about why you would want to remove a web page from Google. I realize that there are many reasons for wanting to remove a web page from the Google search engine (which might include the fact that it's a duplicate page or maybe even a page that has sensitive data on it that you don't want given out to the whole entire world). But, what I am going to do is give you several options for removing a web page from Google. After I name each option, I will give you some more details about it.

Use Google's own removal tool.

First, you must verify your website in Google Webmaster Tools, to show Google that you are really the website owner. To do this, you need a Google Account. Then, log into Google Webmaster Tools and "add your site". Then, you'll need to click on the "verify your site" link that they provide in Google Webmaster Tools. You'll be asked to either add a file to your website or add a meta tag to your site. This is normal, they'll need proof that you own the website. Once you've added the meta tag or added the file, you can verify the site.

Once it's officially verified in Google Webmaster Tools, you'll need to do the following:

1. Click on "Site Configuration" then "Crawler Access" and then "Remove URL" as shown below:




2. Then, after you have clicked on "Remove URL", you'll need to submit a new removal request as shown below:



3. Click on the "New Removal Request" button.

4. You are now presented with a place to input a URL. Enter the URL and click on "Continue".
