Remove Outdated Content Link from Search Results and Cache
Remove Outdated Content Link from Search Results and Cache
While blogging we create
many content and publish posts regularly. Sometimes we delete post due to error
and outdated. Sometimes we publish post about SEO and after SEO rules change we
delete the content from our Blog. Beside of this sometime I found a problem
that after publishing the post only one post showing in my blog homepage and
other post are showing on next page. So I delete that post and publish again
for solving this issue. But after deleting Blog link Blogger won't notice that
delete link still available on Google Search engine and cache. So visitors
maybe find this link on search engine and if they click on that link then in
your Blog it will display 404 error page with page not found message. And instantly Google count this link as
crawl error. And a notification will send in Google Webmaster tools account under
crawl error section. So for avoiding this kinds of problem you have to remove
the link from Google search result and cache page thus new visitors can't click
on deleted content or post link.
For remove Links from Google
search Results and Cache I will use Google link removal tools. In this tutorial
I will show you the way to remove link that will help you to reduce crawl
error.

time to remove the link from Google search result and cache. But after removing
from search result Status will be show as Removed.
However if you think

re include your link on their search engine.
That's it you have successfully remove the link from
Google search result and Cache. But Googlebot will visit your Blog within
