Sitelink demotion not working after submitting in Google webmaster tool

[zco_seo]

Hello Friends,

I have a question regarding demotion of sitelinks in Google webmaster tool.

Scenario:

I have demoted one of the sitelink for my website two months back; still the demoted sitelink has not been removed from the Google search results.May I know any reason, why this page is not getting removed even after demoting from GWT?

If we resubmit the same link in demotion tool one more time, will it work?

Can anybody help me out with this?

Note: Since the validly of demotion exists only for 3 months (90 days), I am concerned about the same.

Hi,

In my case it is working all the time so far but I know this answer doesn't help you. Many SEO's facing the same issue. I am quoting  Google's John Muller's on this

"Just to sum up the possibilities ...  As others have mentioned, Sitelinks demotions are demotions, not removals, so what you're seeing might be as expected (also, the changes are not immediate).

If you'd like to have text removed from the snippet, there are a few possibilities you might want to look into:

• use the "nosnippet" robots meta tag

• use an image (as others have suggested)

• use a robotted JavaScript file (also mentioned above)

• use a robotted iframe

The "googleon" / "googleoff" tags are only for Google Search Appliances (so if you're running your own, local search engine), not for web-search."

Hope that helps.
