      While doing text Google searches for various keywords I have found two sites that have scrapped pages from my site which goes by an old URL of www.tpxcnex.com and a new URL of www.tpxonline.com

      www.folder.com is one of the sites and if you try to visit that site or any of the scrapped Google index listing, Chrome warns you not to.

      How can I ask Chrome to deindex www.folder.com or another scrapper site, or atleast deindex the URLs which have clearly scrapped my content?

        Doug,

        Two things:

        1. A site shouldn't "go by" two domain names. You should verify the  means by which a visitor may be made aware of both  domain names to be  sure  one  of the  domains is being 301 redirected to the other.

        2. If you don't own the domains that contain the scraped content, you can contact the site owner to request that they take it down. Also, here is a link to Google's copyright  help center on https://support.google.com/legal/topic/4558877  to deal with it that way.

        You  may want to step  back and get a bigger picture understanding of the inner workings of your  website, hosting and google. It will help you in the short term and long term.

          I have 301 redirects from my old URL to the new URL (and from http to https, and from no www to www)

          The link suggestion you provided just offered a link to a you-tube video that was instructive but did not help me.

          I found a link to https://support.google.com/legal/troubleshooter/1114905 which allowed me to "report content that you would like removed from Google's services". I submitted a request that the scrapper site be removed from Google's index.

          • New SEO manager needs help! Currently only about 15% of our live sitemap (~4 million url e-commerce site) is actually indexed in Google. What are best practices sitemaps for big sites with a lot of changing content?

          • Should you use robots.txt for pages within your site which do not have high quality content or are not contributing a great deal so when Google crawls your site the best performing content has a higher chance of being indexed?
