    Hey there. I just had a quick question. I am trying to run my website so that it remains separate from my personal life but realized the other day that when someone types in my name into google, my website is attached to it. Today I changed my username and shifted the ‘author’ of all my posts to another account linked to the website. However when I type my name into google the same link appears. Only this time when I click on it the page is not found (because the author is different.) Is there a way to remove the link from google at all? How long do you think it’ll be up there?

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

    IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting sites and/or site content or making the site private does not remove indexed content from the SERPs (search engine page results) and we cannot help with that. Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months. To completely remove an entire page from Google search results after it produces a 404 (page not found):
