Can I turn off Google site links?

[BRConsulting]

I thought at one time I had turned off the option to have Google sitelinks. I did this so that each of our pages that had a strong presence would occupy a unique slot on the first and second page of Google. This was important to us as we were battling some reputation management issues and trying to push out negative listings from the front page.

Recently I noticed sitelinks were back up and when going into Google Webmaster Tools, I could figure out how to opt out of them.

Any suggestions?

It's still on there under "Configuration"... there's instructions on how to turn them off at https://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=47334

This just shows you how to 'demote' particular links. I believe there was a setting where you could turn it off completely.

My mistake, I wrongly assumed demoting all that currently show would effectively turn them off.

According to this, there's no way to do it: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/webmasters/removing-content/GrV8Axa81Ec
