How to re-index the blog article (SERP)?

    In a few hours after publishing I changed the title of my log article from initial title:

    “My Google Private Profile First Published then Dumped?”

    to

    “The Google+’s Nym Probe – Isn’t it a Scam to Change Agreements Unilaterally and Retroactively?”

    In 4 days, it still appears in search engine results under initial name.

    Also, before, by my error (or lack of experience in blogging) I published article-question, just for half-a-minute, then saved it back as draft, which I did not want to publish at all but the title to this unavailable publicly article appears in SERP for many weeks

    The same story with keywords. I published an article under wrong and unrelated category and now it is being searched by that unrelated keyword for many weeks.

    Is it possible to re-index the title, keywords and/or remove blog articles from google SERPs?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Google clears their caches every 3 – 6 months and we have no control over when they do that. Both URLs will be in the SERPs until the clear their caches so the answer is there’s nothing you can do about this now.

    re: categories
    Every time you break a link this will happen just as it did when you changed the title. If you are inclined to edit and nitpick and break links this will become the bane of your existence so stop now – avoid creating 404’s (page not found).

    Here’s some unsolicited advice creating short and effective post titles.

    It will happen automatically after a certain length of time. What length of time isn’t really under our control.

    The more you publish, however, the more search engines check your site and the sooner the corrections are going to be made. You can try contacting each search engine and asking them to update, but it’s unlikely they’ll comply for just a title change. The robots will do it automatically, as I explained above.

    They only time you can go to your webmasters account and use the URL removal tool is when you create a 404 (page not found). Even then it’s up to Google’s Staff whether or not they do that for you now or when the caches would normally be cleared. I urge you not to become a PITA to Google’s staff by making frequent URL removal requests, if any at all, as they keep meticulous records and have long memories.

    Sigh…
    I never have patience to edit/create an article without errors before publishing and any way it happens that preview of draft is different from a published article

    So, it is very imperative to make all correctly before publishing?
    In other words, following perfection is kinda of useless for short-term (days, weeks) results?
