Blog Visibility
-
Hello there. I am trying to prevent google or any other search engine from showing my blog when you do a search on my name. Even though I have the “I would like to block search engines, but allow normal visitors” option checked my blog still shows up. Any solutions?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If there was a gap between when you started your blog and when you set it to blog search engines, there is a chance all the search engines found you. With Google, supposedly the next time they index your site, they will see the change and take you out of their list, but it will take 3-6 months before any posts that you had up before you made the change will disappear from their pages.
With Yahoo, if they have you, your posts will likely be there forever. They never seem to delete anything from their search databases.

Dear thesacredpath,
Thank you for your response. If only I had known this when I started my blog. Take care. -
You’re welcome, and it isn’t something anyone thinks about. There have been several people ask about this in the forums over the past month, so you aren’t alone.
