Ok, some not smart person had me post something to a corporate site I maintain. In said document was something extremely sensitive that never should have been posted publically. I have since modified the document.

Google indexed the document.

Is there any way I can force their crawler to replace the currrent cached version with the new one?

Is there a way to contact Google about this?

Thanks

    Hi Radix,

    You can take care of it through Google Webmaster Tools.

    Radix,

    Sorry to hear about that.

    Grab some new links (to that particular page) in DIGG etc etc and it should be updated very quickly.

      It's not my head on the block. I did submit requests for google to remove the pages. So you're saying create some backlinks to that page to get it reindexed?

        Hi Radix,

        The link I gave gives you the exact procedure to remove a page from the Google cache. After you have added the noarchive meta tag as instructed, you can make a tweet on Twitter.com to prompt a very quick Googlebot visit. That will get the cached paged removed quickly.

          Thanks, I have submitted the pages.

          I really want them gone asap. Will try tweeting the pages.

          Would pinging help any?

    You could always do a 302 redirect if that's the case to never have that page shown up again.
