Remove Old content from Google Search

[animesh]

Hi,
One of my friend approach me to remove a 2 yealr old information which is showing in Google which appear when some one search with his name. Its was a policy complain and the newsletter is showing.

- can Google remove this content on basis of complaining its an outdated result.
- what can be other way (black or white) to remove this result.

Thank you

I can only think of contacting the host/webmaster of the site the info appears on. I don't think Google will do anything about it.

Why would Google remove it? Because it is outdated? Really? So they should start removing all pages over a certain age from their index?

There is really no way to remove something like that just because you (or your friend) does not like what the page says. You can contact the owner of the website but chances are that will not get you very far. The only thing you really can do is move the offending site off the first page by ranking sites above it. This is called reputation management and usually takes quite a bit of work and is fairly expensive. I have done it a couple of times for clients and it can be a pretty long term project depending on where the offending site ranks and how competitive the name is.

Good luck...

Thank you,
this is what I am too planning. Creating new small pages & profile on Social sites and then bookmarking them so that they can rank before. The Name is not competitive so I think it will be easy for me.
