How to get rid of a link on Google?
I Googled the title of my short film and found a link to a message I posted on another forum back in March. I don't want family or certain others to find me on that forum, so I went to the message and edited it to remove the name of the movie. But Google still has it cached, so it still comes up even without the name of the movie in the link anymore. So how do I get it removed??

you can't remove a google cache; you have to wait for it to expire, which varies wildly from site to site.

Oh, fucking glorious. So if my grandparents decide to look up potential press on my movie, they get to read about how I get paid to kick men in the testicles nowadays?

Is it like late night HBO softcore...or is it more along the lines of Freddy Mercury-esque poundage?

Well I just googled and found the link to your website. Do grandparents know what the cache is for?

The cache will clear it out within 1-30 days, in general terms.

Uh ....hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the google cache can last a heck of a lot longer. Last month I pulled up a cached page from January 5. I don't know the technicalities of that kind of thing, but in this case it was an ebay page. However, i did just try to look it up again and got nothing.

I have something that has came up on mine for almost 2 years...so I 'm not too sure what the general shit is.

Re: How to get rid of a link on Google?
I have a cache on my name that pulled up from 7 years ago. Hopefully they just won't go there.

Did you edit the post or delete whatever the offending text was? /:O

Re: How to get rid of a link on Google?
I had that problem recently. It went away about 3 weeks after I removed it from the site.

Re: How to get rid of a link on Google?
I love googling my real name. I have fictional characters named after me!!

Re: How to get rid of a link on Google?
the reason it varies is because the cache updates according to when the googlebots crawl sites. obviously, some sites get crawled more often than others, so cache expiration ends up varying a lot.

Wow, kicking men in the balls. I will stay clear of you lady.

I can't delete the info that is tied to my name. It's public info . Now if there is a suggestion on how to take care of that I'd love to hear it.
From what I understand, info comes up more and more the more often your name or whatever it is , is googled.

Re: How to get rid of a link on Google?
Anything you put on the Internet can be found by somebody who is really wants to work at it. Deleting it does not make it go away, either, because the original version is likely stored on multiple backups of multiple servers, and it could be restored any time that server crashes.
How "techie" are your grandparents, and how likely are they to Google your movie, then explore all the links and find all your posts here and on other services? If it is unlikely, don't worry about it. If it IS likely, maybe now is the time to come out of the closet.
FWIW, I just Googled the title of your film, and got NO hits that led back to Stripperweb. Your Myspace page, however, is certainly better designed and more attractively presented than most.
Googling "Yekhefah," OTOH, returns ten pages or more of hits. Some of them lead back here to Stripperweb, but others lead to recipe boards, etc. But, there is always the possibility that not all of them are you. I know that there are several other UtahMikes, so maybe there are other Yekhefahs out there. It is a unique name to me, but what do I know? Maybe hundreds of people online have chosen it.
I always recommend to people that they NOT use the same user name on other services that they do on sexually oriented services. Googling a user name, I could find out all sorts of stuff that they just might not want me to know.
One last possibility for your grandparents is, if they DO find Yekhefah on Stripperweb, would be to feign surprise, then say that some poor, pathetic loser must be pretending to have directed and produced your movie because she has nothing in her own life to be proud of, and you feel so sorry for her, whoever she is, that you wouldn't even THINK of suing. Etc., etc.
Good luck. Everything will PROBABLY be just fine.

Re: How to get rid of a link on Google?
what you are speaking of is pagerank, tart, and yek was speaking of the cached pages. they are related in that pagerank determines how often the googlebots crawl and update google's caches. if you post to a site that starts getting or is popular, the cache is more likely to expire fairly quickly. if you post somewhere obscure on an obscure topic, the cache may well remain for months on end.
if you posted things to usenet (now primarily google groups for all practical purposes), google can be contacted to get information removed, if you can prove you're the person who posted it.
the persistence of info on the internet is something to always keep in mind. even if google didn't exist to try to store everything, people are always making local copies of things they look at and listen to online. once it hits the 'net, it is pretty well never going away in any meaningful sense of the term.
there was an article in the nyt about how this is changing the coming generation of kids/teens/young adults, growing up with the notion that all they say and think is basically eternal. what an egoboost, heh.

^ it was something in the newspaper.

Re: How to get rid of a link on Google?
Yea, it stays and stay in cache. You will be able to find out how all of the search engines handle their updates when you search for it and then see if it links to the orginal article.
The good news is there are a lot of people with a lot of names--probably the same as yours. Just deny it was you....
Don't forget there are a lot more engines than Google, Yahoo, MSN, ASK, etc. etc.
You could get arrested for providing Happy Endings, posting to a forum, or whatever, and it will be there for years.

Re: How to get rid of a link on Google?
They're not very computer savvy, but they might Google the movie, I don't know. I'd rather not find out. It leads to one post by me on another forum that I hadn't been to in awhile; I was catching everyone up with how my life was going, and I mentioned the movie as well as my being a professional domme and my considering a return to stripping. Grrr. I guess I just have to cross my fingers and hope it expires before anyone gets the idea to search.
