A new opt-out tool
Monday, March 25, 2013
Webmasters have several ways to keep their sites' content out of Google's search results. Today,
as
promised,
we're providing a way for websites to opt out of having their content that Google has
crawled appear on Google Shopping, Advisor,
Flights, Hotels, and Google+ Local search.
Webmasters can now choose this option through our
Webmaster Tools,
and crawled content currently being displayed on Shopping, Advisor, Flights, Hotels, or Google+
Local search pages will be removed within 30 days.
