Real catch 22 situation, i desperattely want something removed from google :(

It's one individual page that I want removing from google, it's always coming up at the TOP of the search results & it contains information about me that I don;t want online.

Google wont remove this for me, or will the site admins & I'm in a nasty catch 22 situation.

If only google would respect peoples privacy, however it's only one article/page that I want removing from the WWW for good.

Can someone do this for me?, of course they will be rewarded.

All i want is this one page removing from google (& other search engines (however it's google really that only results this high).

I'#ve tried for almost a year now constantly mailing google only to be told "No the web******s have to do it" & the web****** saying "No we don't really remove articles" , so leaves me pretty hurt about it.

I just want this ONE page removing please if anyone would be kind enough to help get this from the net, or at least from the search results.

I will keep an eye on this thread & big thanks to anyone who kindly does this.

I wouldn't usually reccomend this but the people seem to be so careless & mean, I don;t know any other way to help get this removed (so if anyone has any ideas)

It means a great deal & thank you.

You want us to hack google?

Ridiculous.
[LIST=*][*]If you remove a website from google, there are many other search engines.

[*]Why would we risk doing something illegal for you? What have you done for us?[/LIST]
People are just getting stupider. The only thing I can say that may help you is, you could spoof an email from the web****** to google - asking for the page to be removed.

Noooooooooooooooooooo, i dont want you to hack google LOL

I want you to help me remove the page thats coming UP in google.

I dont know what else to do, but just know i do appreciate it if someone can help me find a method to have this removed or at least at the back of google.

Words cant explain how much i want this removing, i just dont know what to do.

Try these;

*. Ask thier web host to remove the page, (this will probably won't work unless the offending page is really really really invading your privacy). If they won't remove it they may contact the sites owner for you requesting that the webpage be changed.

2. Instead of offering us an award, bribe the person who owns the site. Surely they will remove anything if the price is right.

Or, if you're really desperate;

*. Try getting that site banned from google. Here are google's rules, search the site to see if they are breaking any of these rules.

[QUOTE] * Avoid hidden text or hidden links.
* Don't employ cloaking or sneaky redirects.
* Don't send automated queries to Google.
* Don't load pages with irrelevant words.
* Don't create multiple pages, subdomains, or domains with substantially duplicate content.
* Don't create pages that install viruses, trojans, or other badware.
* Avoid "doorway" pages created just for search engines, or other "cookie cutter" approaches such as affiliate programs with little or no original content.
* If your site participates in an affiliate program, make sure that your site adds value. Provide unique and relevant content that gives users a reason to visit your site first.

If the site contains a forum, or you can add comments, try adding you own hidden links to thier site. When the bot crawl thier site again it will notice the hidden links and may ban the site, (or more likely- move the site futher down the search results)

Here's an example of a hidden link using one clear pixel.

[QUOTE] <a href="linkpage.html"><img src="clearpixel.gif" border="0"></a>[/QUOTE]

Try linking to a page that is already banned from google, if you can find any.

Don't be stupid by thinking google will censor the web for you, they won't remove sites only because you don't like what's written on them.

Well since Google controls listings, they're the point you would have to access if you wanted to directly remove the offending page.

But I'll now elaborate on a what I said before, and offer another alternative.
[LIST][*]You said Google only will remove the page if the web****** tells them to remove it. Why not just send an email from his address asking for it to be removed, thus impersonating him? Doing so is very easy.

[*]Another alternative is [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_bomb"]Google bombing[/URL] - basically creating your own web page and spamming links to it with keywords designed to rank it higher than the original website. If you do this, you can push the other site sufficiently down Google's rankings. It would probably be easy to pay for bots to spam to various forums on the internet - they seem to do well enough to flood this site's advertising section.

[*]Or, you could just flood the shit out of the site and eat up its bandwidth for the month; repeat for rest of internet's existence.

[*]And lastly, you could simply steal the site's domain name and redirect it to *27.0.0.* or similar.[/LIST]

Wow you guys are very clever & I thank you all kindly for helping me with this, Im sure that unless you've been in this situation it's hard to understand how it feels, however I'm thankful to all who have kindly added some support.

I've had a read through the things written here & it's difficult really to do, however this one seemed to catch my eye & the best.

However, won't they just give the instructions same as theone thats written on the google help page in regards to how to remove search results from google.

Google bombing sounded good as well, however all these s***estions are hard for me as I'm not really all that high tech in regards to computers etc... so it's difficult.

Please know I sincerely appreciate everyone's help here as I really do want this removing or at least pushing far far back if anything.

Thanks in advance to all, seriously.

I don't know, maybe you could ask them to remove it manually? I'm sure you can think of some reason as to why you can't do it yourself.

catch 22 was an awesome book

That should be enough info on spoofing emails.

Even if the page is removed manually, google will probably have it cached.
Just wanted to add some hell to this discussion. ;)

Along with Yahoo, Ask, all the other search engines, and archive.org.

What do we learn from this? Don't publish anything personal on the web and expect it to stay private. Don't even trust people you know with personal information if you suspect they will betray that trust. Once humiliating material hits the web, it tends to spread a lot until there's no one point you can shut down to prevent people seeing whatever it may be.

btw... what was the information you wanted removed? I'm very curious now... just give me a clue if you don't want to be exact... :p

if he doesnt want it online and people seeing it, why would he say on here? that would be exactly what hes avoiding. :rolleyes:

He doesn't have to give exact details... just a clue will do...

If it's his phone number and address he only has to write "it's my phone number and address". He doesn't have to write, "it's my phone number, which is *2* 45**2, and my address- *2 Milky Way...."


Or, he could just write "they're pictures of me naked", without posting the actual pics. :p

LOL, their not pics of me naked etc.. however obviously I'm not going to say.

However, i did read a story while doing some research on this, where someone else was in the same situation, not only did this site ruin this guys career, he committed suicide also, these things SHOULD be taken into account through google & other search engines, you'll be surprised how much these things can effect a person.

Everyone SHOULD have a right to have any information written about themselves removed & theirs no reason why google or other site engines can't find a way to filter these kind of results, the bottom line is, they don't care & they just don't want to (I know this from google's replies), which i do actually find quite disgusting when you think about it.

thanks to all who replied here anyway, i appreciate it.

I read through these & don't really understand it that well (I'm not massively techy minded).

I will have to sit & read through again a few times i think to work this out.

Thank you kindly though :)

It's not disgusting; it's reality. Google handles millions of websites, and if you expect them to care about one person and their troubles, you expect too much. They will only remove a website if the owner sends explicit instructions to do so, and telling them "I have no proof of ownership of the content or even affiliation with the web******, but I want X site removed", isn't going to be good enough.

What it comes down to is you shouldn't trust someone if they are untrustworthy. If they find a way to post information 'you don't want online', then you probably were the one who gave them the information. If you're that desperate, go round to his house, steal his computer, delete the local version of the offending website, and use his FTP password to delete the website. Then feel free to destroy/sell the computer on ebay.

If you can find proof that this information is libelous to you, you may want to consider involving the police. Saying that, simply bringing the evidence to the attention of Google may just be enough to get it taken down - but then there's the matter of the thousands of other search engines and their caches. Another better alternative would be to contact the hosting provider of the website. Hosting providers usually have a strict TOS, and I'm sure libel and personally offensive documents would break some rules. If the hosting provider is free, as much as telling them "I don't like X site. Remove it." can be enough to get a site taken down.
