Search Engine Removal of Personal Info -Protect Yourself Against Identity Theft

[Guest jeffwalker9999]

Edit: I split the topic so the hard drive discussion would be seperate.As usual a split makes the posts look a little like spaming by grouping them closer togather. (cholla)

I have found a new service/site that will delete

your personal info from world wide search engines

and they are cheap and a very good service

check out this site http://www.deletenow.com/

"Most people don't know there is a big chance your name, address, phone number, and even a map to your house are currently available within seconds. And it doesn't take a programmer to find you; anyone with even the most basic computer skills and access to well known search engines, directories and databases can find your personal information quickly. "

On a personal note:

My old address in Canada and Phoenix was on the web

and that was from like 1992 and is now deleted

Also:

I did not know that my posts on forums were on search engines

all I had to do is search my user id to locate it

and now they are deleted -thanks to this service

Edit:I split the hard drive part into a seperate topic.(cholla)

Edit by RTB: Spam. URL edited out. Better not post it again...

[php]

Looks like a scam to me...

and a PS... your address from 1992 was deleted because it's 14 years out of date, also I can search your username and come up with plenty of results

@cholla... it lakes very little to wipe out a drive... certainly not a paid program.  I've done it with a Windows 98 boot disk

....thats not even possible man - if you think about it logically what is the main source of search engine results !? ...crawlers - they will always exista and always gather information - to delete someones name from a search engine completely means that the website the information is displayed on will have to delete the information also - ......not possible by an outside source

I just joined and still putting in my info in the profile of that site

so well see in the next scan they do

and true as to post - engine provider has to be the one to delete - but well see

[disturbed]

what is wrong with you....why do you keep posting the same passage over and over again

[Guest jeffwalker9999]

how did this post get onto a harddrive delete topic

the orig post was about deletement of info from web sites

and search engines for cheap by

[link removed]

?? ok--- now a question for you all ??

Is there a software application

that will unpost or remove info from search engines and web sites ?

I know that there are quite a few software app's for posting of web sites

( add to search engines ) (((( web position , webceo , and many url's ))))

but unpostment app's - where are they ???

I've used webceo and others and put "no index" , "no follow" , "remove"

meta tags to try to remove info fro search engines, but [link removed]

is what I'm going to try now and see if they do what they say they can do

Please:::::: Try to keep posts about the topic to ::

spamming look like the url has been posted several times

[RTB]

Agreed. What that website advertised is impossible to do thanks to the nature of the web.

[cholla]

Hi all: I split this topic so if the URL posted by jeffwalker9999  looks like spamming it is because the posts with it are closer togather.So partly my fault.

[RTB]

Still, I guess I'm gonna have to be the big bad moderator here. The first post by itself was a little odd, and even though there were posts in between originally, you kept posting the link. Once is enough :/

Again, it's just impossible to remove personal information on the web, if it's on sites you have no control over, and that includes search engines. To me it seems the owners of the website you posted it have found a way to make money easy, while not having to do anything for it.

Second, I think the next time you should wait before editing things back until we had a chance of explaining eachother's actions in private. Communication's good, y'know

cholla: No harm done.

[Guest jeffwalker9999]

??? got an question ???

meta tags and disscription terms

when you post urls to search engines ??

If you were to put "no index" and "no follow" as the keywords and possibly

also as the sites discription

would that remove the listing from the search engine ??

"no index" and "no follow" from what I get, tell search engines not to (no)

maybe thats what site does

?? would putting above work ??

As I know very little on how a search engines reference sites

and to tell you really i'm interested in learning

ps:

spamming was discussed via pm and was rectified

[RTB]

Haven't looked into it in detail, but I can say that a robots.txt is to be used when you want to control whether search engines can index a particular page. It's still not possible for someone to just go out an delete data on servers he/she/it only has read-access on.
