ann1874 Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 Please any advice will be great. A while ago I had my site hacked. I went though and thought I had taken care of the issues, but I must haver missed this one because some put meta tags with the site name repeated over and over in the create_account .php page and now I have found that google has indexed it. What if anything can/should I do?

Guest Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 Yes to both robot.txt and SSL Under your <title>....</title> insert following: <meta name="ROBOTS" content="noIndex, Follow" /> This will prevent Google from indexing the page.
ann1874 Posted February 15, 2008 Author Posted February 15, 2008 I found on googles web site a section that tells how to request them to remove an index. Should I do this or not. It says that if you ask them to remove an index it will lock that page from being indexed for a minium of 90 days. That would be okay for that page but I'm afraid that it will lock out my entire site for the 90 days. Which wouldn't be a good thing. I really don't want to have to wait until they send a robot to my site, but I don't know if having them remove the index is the best thing either?what do you think? Again thanks for the help!!!
Guest Posted February 15, 2008 Posted February 15, 2008 Well, I would use the meta tag from above on all pages I don't want indexed and then go here: https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogi...moval&hl=en Sign up and then just use "Remove outdated or missing webpages" to remove the page from their index. When the googlebot returns for the updated content, it will be stopped by the noindex command.
