Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Nick, Given that you have tried all of the above, I recommend cutting off the search engines at the source, in your Robots.txt. Once you manually exclude the page in your robots.txt doc, the search engines will no longer crawl and index the page. After enough time passes, the page should disappear from the SE's cache. Here is a moz tutorial for how to exclude the page: Robot's Exclusion Protocol Just a heads up..you may want to give it a week or so for the SEs to catch up on all the work you have already done to resolve the issue. Then try the above solution. Good luck!

Thanks for your prompt reply - it pretty much confirmed what I thought. As far as the footprint goes, that's not too much of an issue - we have all the clients listed on our site anyway, so it's no huge drama for people to find this out. Also, we don't work with anyone we would be happy to shout about. Something on the About Us, or possibly the news page for new sites, could be doable. I guess the only thing that caused confusion was the paragraph in the book that implied the authors' experiments showed differing location pages and anchor text throughout the site was treated somewhat nearer linear instead of being ignored.
