URL Search removal tool.

[Anthonykal-group]

Hi All!

I have tried to request a URL removal from Google search for an old testing site they still have listed.

Ive tried requesting removal of the domain and of individual pages, all requests are getting rejected.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated

Many Thanks Anthony

Is the URL generating a 404 / included in robots.txt as an exclusion ? If yes, you might want to check with a HTTP header tool to verify the correct 404 is being displayed. Maybe post details here. If nothing works, send a message in the Google support forum and that should do it.

Removal Requirements (https://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=59819)

To remove a page or image, you must do one of the following:

• Make sure the content is no longer live on the web. Requests for the page must return an HTTP 404 (not found) or 410 status code.
• Block the content using a robots.txt file.
• Block the content using a meta noindex tag.
