Google -- two important questions

13 years ago

Id have to ask why you think you really need to do that ? , there are millions of sites out there that really "shouldnt" be indexed , Google will find them eventually , i wouldnt waste your time. Im guessing the site you are talking about is a competitor and you wish to remove them to make your life easier ? My advise.....do it properly and get that position with out trying to ruin another site, what some people consider unethical other people may not.

Thanks

You can submit your site to Google and verify it. I think that can help if your site was stopped indexing.

I wouldn't waste my time. You aren't going to make a dent in it it anyways and, chances are, Google isn't going to listen to you anyway. Spend your time doing something more productive.

I don't think why you have to do that. If the site is garbage, Google will eventually stop sending traffic to the site. And you are better off to work on your own site than wasting time to report these bad sites.

If the site is garbage, then they will pay for traffic and the visitor will not stay - they will soon stop throwing money at it.

If they are just a competitor, then market forces apply - either compete or don't.

Best way to neutralise a competitors adword campaign is to get P1 organic!

I know this can be tough. The company that started as "don't be evil", does seem to be the lifeblood for a lot of evil sites.

And who voted you Morality Police?

Please, leave my evil sites alone. They make me money and that makes me happy. It also puts food in my children's mouths... well, I don't have any children, but IF I DID!

As for reaching google proper... you'd best read Kafka's Before the Law.

This is actually a legit and good question.

Maybe we could finally find out what Google wants.

Any people who are regular posters in the Webmaster and Adsense forums?

Thanks

1. Open any website. See Google ads. You will see a link Ads By Google. Click on it. It will take you to google website.. Submit the form what you want to convey.
2. Use robots file or add meta tag noindex to block bots...

Cal, thanks, that article has Chrome extension, but I don't use Chrome. I use Firefox.
Is there a good page where you can just complain about a site?

Thanks

We are going in circles--I'd much prefer a direct link that end the chase than more posts on how to find something.

You should prob focus on your own websites and let Google deal with these issues. Google prob receives many complaints about other websites from people and I would say most are ignored. Remember this could be an easy way to remove your competitors.

Jumping to conclusions Yukon. nothing to do with competition.

I'm beating a dead horse, but it's a site that takes anonymous complaints and does not monitor anything written.

"The link was already posted in this thread to a Google Artic"
you link is not working

Thanks

That's the nature of Internet: everybody is free to write what they want.

If the music industry cannot take down The Pirate Bay website, what makes you think you could take down a website that publishes complaints you don't like?

Internet is about freedom of speech.

Spam/Malware/Fishing websites are another story but it doesn't seem to apply here.

Google does provide numerous ways to contact them, there are support email ids for each of their product, if it is adsense issue then each ad block has a "ads by google" through which you can contact them, but since you say that you are trying to complain against the content, then you can contact them through the webmaster central area.

Thanks
