Important: To ensure your content is permanently removed, you need to do one of the following within 90 days of requesting removal. Otherwise, your content may later reappear in search results. (More information about blocking Google.)

  • If the page no longer exists, make sure that the server returns a 404 (Not Found) or 410 (Gone)HTTP status code. Non-HTML file (like PDFs) should be completely removed from your server.
  • If the page still exists, use robots.txt to prevent Google from crawling it. Even if a URL is disallowed by robots.txt we may still index the page if we find its URL on another site. However, we won’t index the page if it’s blocked in robots.txt and there is an active URL removal request for the page.
