Because you&#8217;ve already verified ownership of<br \/>\n  the site, we can eliminate this requirement to make it easier for you, as the site owner, to<br \/>\n  remove unwanted pages (for example, pages accidentally made public) from Google&#8217;s search results.\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"removals-persist-for-at-least-90-days\" tabindex=\"-1\">Removals persist for at least 90 days<\/h2>\n<p>\n  When a page&#8217;s URL is requested for removal, the request is temporary and persists for at least<br \/>\n  90 days. We may continue to crawl the page during the 90-day period but we will not display it in<br \/>\n  the search results. You can still revoke the removal request at any time during those 90 days.<br \/>\n  After the 90-day period, the page can reappear in our search results, assuming you haven&#8217;t made<br \/>\n  any other changes that could impact the page&#8217;s availability.\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"permanent-removal\" tabindex=\"-1\">Permanent removal<\/h2>\n<p>\n  In order to permanently remove a URL, you must ensure that one of the following page blocking<br \/>\n  methods is implemented for the URL of the page that you want removed:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n    indicate that the page no longer exists by returning a<br \/>\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/List_of_HTTP_status_codes\" class=\"external-link\"><code>404<\/code> oder <code>410<\/code> HTTP status code<\/a>\n  <\/li>\n<li>\n    block the page from crawling via a<br \/>\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/google-bilgi-bankasi\/robots-txt-intro\/\">robots.txt file<\/a>\n  <\/li>\n<li>\n    block the page from indexing via a<br \/>\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/google-bilgi-bankasi\/block-search-indexing-with-noindex\/\"><code>noindex<\/code> <code>meta<\/code> tag<\/a>\n  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n  This will ensure that the page is permanently removed from Google&#8217;s search results for as long as<br \/>\n  the page is blocked. If at any time in the future you remove the previously implemented page<br \/>\n  blocking method, we may potentially re-crawl and index the page. For immediate and permanent<br \/>\n  removal, you can request that a page be removed using the Remove URL tool and then permanently<br \/>\n  block the page&#8217;s URL before the 90-day expiration of the removal request.\n<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The Crawler Access feature in Webmaster Tools\" src=\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kb-gorsel\/g-f70c3cbc8956.png\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The Crawler Access feature in Webmaster Tools prompting for a reason to remove a URL\" src=\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/kb-gorsel\/g-44129d547395.png\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p>\n<p>\n  For more information about URL removals, see our<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/google-bilgi-bankasi\/url-removal-explained-part-i-urls-and-directories\/\">URL removal explained<\/a> blog<br \/>\n  series covering this topic.
