May 17, 201214 yr i have 7 error in my Google web master tool and i have requested google to remove those pages because they are not exist any more, but google is saying i want to block these pages from robots.txt file as well. if i exclude the following would work for me. Dissallow : /category/jobs/marketing-jobs/ Dissallow : /category/jobs/human-recourse-jobs/ Dissallow : /seo-ranking-factors/ Dissallow : /category/jobs/sales-jobs/ Dissallow : /category/jobs/admin-jobs/ Dissallow : /category/jobs/finance-jobs/ Dissallow : /category/motivation/ Please advise.
May 17, 201214 yr It's Disallow: XXXXXXXX. No double-s, and no space before the : As I understand it, that will work. Make sure the removal request goes through. They don't really like you doing this, as 404 pages will get removed from the index automatically over time, but sometimes it's necessary. If you've simply moved the pages, set up 301 redirects. As a side note, Google has recently made Webmaster Tools decent at removing URLs, and submitting them too - useful at last!
