Hi i am wondering if i can delete a post i posted few weeks ago.
the whole point of me posting a thread was to hide a link from google, but i had copy and pasted the link that i wanted to hide on the last post DevNetwork Forums to show as an example of what im trying to hide. now when i do a search on google, the hidden link comes up through DevNetwork Forums...
Once Google has indexed it, it's pretty much there for good. I think there's a way to request that it be removed, but you have to prove to Google that you own the indexed page.

I always thought google's philosophy was that nothing should ever be deleted. I reckon they just don't show it in search results once the page looks to be dead.
