google webmaster tools content removal

There’s a new feature in Google Webmaster Tools that allows you to remove your sites’ contents from Google’s index. You can choose to remove individual pages, a whole directory, the entire site, or just the cached copy of the results, which is awesome.

While you can take some control with the new feature, you don’t have all the privilege - Google decides whether whether your request is eligible for removal. You can also request content that you don’t own from Google’s index using this form.

To learn more on how to use the new feature, read this post on Google Webmaster Central.
