I had al lot of dead links removet by http://services.google.com:8882/urlconsole/controller
And the links were gone.
Great!!

Now the dead links reappear at Google.

When I log in at http://services.google.com:8882/urlconsole/controller they show status of the requested removals:

2005-03-05 15:07:39 GMT :
removal of http://www.domain1.dk
complete (wery good)

2004-10-07 15:00:05 GMT :
removal of http://www. Domain2.dk/
expired (not wery good - !!!)

How do I get the links to go away forever – and not having to remove manually every 6 months.
I have read very carefulle all the info pages, and find no answer.
I have tried to "submit" at the addURL page at Google – no use so far.

Can somone give me a clue – Thanks - adincra
(PS I previously posted this in tread - where it maybe didnt belong)

Hello adincra, Welcome to SEW forums.

The main thing I learned about the the remove URL tool at Google, is that it only removes the data from the visible SERPs, not the actual index.

I hate to refer you elsewhere, but I participated in an excellent threat at WMW: "URL Console removal expired (http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum30/29428.htm)" when I had removed my site from Google will under development and was trying to get it back.

You have to make sure that pages you want to stay removed return an actual 404 status code and also try to eliminate any links that point to the dead pages, as G will just pick them up and list them again.

One interesting thing about the "removed" status is that everything still goes on as usual, just it doesn't show until you "appear" after 6 months and a few days.

Hope that helps! :)

Remove web pages using a robots.txt file
Put this file on the root directory of the website.
In order to remove all your web pages, Robots.txt must contain:

User-Agent: *
Disallow: /

After that use removal tool from google.

Thank you for answers.

I understand it so, that I have to make a webhotel for the domains I want completely out of Google - and then place a robots.txt file in the root, and then remove again. Them they will go forever.
It seems a strange detour to make the links dissapear, but maybe its the only way.

It seems that there is a flaw in the Google system, since the links reappear - especially when the domains only webforward to the main domain.

Especially when a some of the "dead" links come from a domain which I don´t administrate, and the links have been dead for app. 2 years - so concerning these, I dont see any possibility other than remove every 6 months.

I hope that Google will fix these unlogic things.
Thanks from adincra
