How to get a page OFF google?

so I've got an old page that was showing up in google searches that is not relevant, I just did a redirect on the domain to another site, but the page is cached/indexed I guess because it still shows up on google searches for a particular keyword search (though when you click on it, it goes to the redirect).

Are there any tricks to get it taken off faster or do I just wait another week or two to see if it drops off naturally? Anyway to force a google bot visit to your site easily?


Thanks

    It is okay to contact me! I have been developing software since 1999, creating many popular products like phpLD.

    if you register your website with google webmasters there is an option which you can remove the URL from google.

    If you're redirecting make sure it's a 301

    You could put a disallow in your robots file

    If it's just one page and you want it removed, I recommend the Google Webmaster Tools removal tool. It will take a few business days, but it will get it out of the searches.

    However, if it's getting a good rank and is getting good SE traffic, doing a 301 redirect will push that traffic to a live page that you can monetize. That might be the better way to go.
