Remove Selected Pages From Yahoo Index
Monday, February 7, 2005
A member at WebmasterWorld asked you one can remove his pages from Yahoo index. Tim, the local Yahoo rep. posted a url with a solution:
- create a “robots.txt” file on your web site to prevent our crawler from indexing your site
- add a “noindex” meta tag to your documents
- remove the original document from your web site
- host the document on a secure section of your web site (HTTPS or login)
He also added later on that:
We do provide a removal service. Just click no at the bottom of the page linked above and you get a form to fill out with the information. There is actually also a legal page about copyright violations etc in the help section too that has legal contact information via phone, fax and email.
