What’s The Fastest Way to Remove a Page from Google SERPs?
It may be not a frequent situation but it may happen so that you need to remove a page from Google SERPs really fast. What’s the best way to do that?
Try this:
- Exclude the page in Robots.txt + remove the pages using the URL removal tool in Webmaster Tools.
- Return 410 status code for the page (to show the page is gone for ever);
Don’t do this:
- Don’t exclude the page in Robots.txt and add Noindex meta tag (the meta tag won’t be seen because Google bot will be disallowed to enter the page to see it).
See the further discussion here.
