Yet another robots.txt post? Nope, not really. I discuss Matt Cutt's recent "Remove content from Google" video, plus an uncommon approach that requires programming skills but rescues PageRank, and how it should work in a way that most Webmasters do understand and can implement search engine deindexing.

Hiding contents from all search engines requires programming skills that many sites can't afford. Even leading search engines like Google don't provide simple and suitable ways to deindex content --respectively to prevent content from indexing-- without collateral damage (lost/wasted PageRank). We desperately need better tools. Give REP tags (noindex ...) in robots.txt a chance. ;)
