Possible options in the event that Google finds content that you did not wish to be found.
In the event that Google finds a page that you did not wish to be found, there are several options:
- Altering the content of the page itself to remove the search terms Google has found.
- Restricting the page via EasySite Page Permissions, causing the Google link to prompt for an EasySite login.
- Removing the page from EasySite, causing the Google link to return a 404 error.
- Adding Robots Meta Tags to pages informing search engines not to index the page
Note: Google will still display the page in the results until it has indexed your site again.
