How to kill a web page
Saw this on Matt Cutt’s blog post about why they won’t delete pages from their search results:

How to kill a web page
As you can see Matt has pointed out all kinds of new strategies for helping our clients with reputation management projects that we will be researching and hopefully adding to our services in the near future.
@mattcutts
Would you mind changing this:
The best actions for you from our perspective can be one of a couple options. Either contact whoever put up webpage B and convince them to modify or to take the page down. Or if the page is doing something against the law, get a court to agree with you and force webpage B to be removed or changed. We really don’t want to be taking sides in a he-said/she-said dispute, so that’s why we typically say “Get the page fixed, changed, or removed on the web and then Google will update our index with those changes the next time that we crawl that page.” Our policies outside the U.S. might be different; I’m not as familiar with how legal stuff works outside the U.S.
to a link to our site? All that stuff is great advice but it never hurts to give them one more option.
Thanks!
