Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : SEO / SEM Discussions : Google: Not obeying their own rules with meta tags

[speedy99]

Google are not obeying their own rules with meta tages: no index, no follow, no snippet, no archive, no cache etc.. don't work and they are caching my new personal homepage although I asked them not to and they are doing it deliberately! They are a monopoly just like Microsoft and they are cheating their customers with adsense and search and by the way "Google Docs" sucks too. it halts the computers for specific documents (I didn't check EVERY document, but for some). There are many problems with Google but currently I'm speaking about not obeying google meta tags and ignoring them (and I do have the right to put spaces between words).

By the way they are still displaying an old cache version of my personal homepage itself, but my main root website is displayed in their index with the new content of my "no index, no follow, no snippet etc." page. They are not stupid, they have very sophisticated robots these days, it can't be that their robots didn't understand what I meant. It's a worldwide problem, Google is evil! They do evil deliberately.

By the way it's only Google as far as I know and no other search websites and I checked Yahoo!.com too. Google want people to think they are better and crawl faster and that's why they are pretending to remove the index but what they do is just remove it from the first pages but if you search for the website specifically they do display it and by the way 3 times (after they crawled and noticed there is only one page). Look for yourself:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...i+even+chen%22
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...e%3Aspeedy.net

The first page doesn't display my personal homepage at all (the "pretend") to remove it; the second page displays 3 links which are all to the same page and the first link [http://www.speedy.net/] is the main root website which is redirecting and you can see for yourself that they did cache the page! search the same in Yahoo!.com and also look at the meta tags from their own cache. If you put "no index" etc... they just remove you from the search results first pages but you still appear on the search results for the specific website (domain). Check for yourself! By the way Yahoo! is also ignoring my request but at least they didn't cache the new page.

The main root page [http://www.speedy.net/] should either not be indexed for now (temporary) or should be indexed with the old content (if they didn't crawl yet). But they do index it with the new content and you can look and check for yourself.

By the way my account on facebook.com was disabled by them because I was politically active against their apartheid policy and other issues and even though I'm not on facebook I noticed people are still joining and supporting my causes.
the causes I started on facebook.com. When I left facebook there were about 20 people on the list of my new "Stop racism and discrimination on Facebook" and now it is 36. facebook didn't want me on their website and they kicked me out just because my political views and so did google.com and ynet.co.il and walla.co.il and other companies too. It is political and directly related to me objecting to war crimes and murder but it is all in Hebrew and probably can't be translated to English because of "copyright laws" or something like that. If you read the Hebrew article published about me on Ynet.co.il and see the talkbacks you will unserstand - but it is in Hebrew and therefore you can't.

Look at my personal homepage and see Google's cache with my meta tags included and by the way they didn't cache it under my personal homepage but under my MAIN URL [www.speedy.net] which is currently redirected to my personal homepage but specifically has "no index, no follow" etc... meta tags for all search engines end even specifically for google....

Oh by the way if you want to see more details look as the source code of my personal homepage:
http://www.speedy.net/uri/en/

I'm really pissed off because it's a personal homepage and intended for people who know me personally (or want to know me) and not to be published as my main website. Actually my Hebrew website has moved long ago to a different location but although it's already almost two years (since summer 2006), Google didn't bother to update it and is still displaying this content as the main content of my website. And please don't tell me about HTTP 301 or 302 or "permanent" move or "impermanent" move etc. It's just Google's way to attract attention since before Google nobody cared and there was no difference and by the way nothing is permanent in this world. They are doing evil deliberately to attract attention and I suggest they change their slogan to "Google: we do evil" and not vice versa....

The main page in Hebrew (moved from former domain name .il):
http://www.speedy.net/he/

Oh by the way since they're caching me I'm caching them too and you can see my cache of their caches as well as my cache of their main website:

I don't see anything in your page head meta-tag section where you've clearly told any spiders to not index your stuff.

You've made up a bunch of random crap tags, but nothing which specifically seems to tell all spiders or googlebot correctly to noindex,nofollow.

[nuthin]

didn't read your entire post so please forgive, but have you tried a robots.txt file. I find these work the fastest.

[4waydesigners]

use this line in robots.txt -> User-agent: * in www directory

[1boss1]

Yeah that was going to be my suggestion also, block the whole domain with Robots.txt and it wont appear in the index.

Google is most definately evil, they just have a good guy public front that fools most the people most the time but what can you do? I will tell you, roll with the punches and use them to your own advantage.

I use them to generate a profit, you can use them to broadcast your issues to the world to raise awareness.

Good luck.

If Google is Evil, try not using it at least for 24 Hours.

Heh, this is funny. I think I won't be able to do that unless I am not on the internet

[HostingDeals]

Necessary evil. Yeah.

[marcbarak]

Definitely do NOT trust Google to respect your No Follow requests. Easiest answer is place an htaccess file on the folder your personal or otherwise page is on and they will not get it

[IRCCo Jeff]

I fail to see how advertising this in the OP's signature is going to do any good.

[Melnel]

I'm a bit more than confused as to why you want to put up a site which to all intents and purposes looks like an affiliate (hotel) site but then want to keep it under wraps???

Since all the pages of your site seem to return a 403 (foridden) response why is there a site at all?

But to get to the bottom of your gripe there is a standard procedure for getting any or all of the content that Google has indexed removed from thier index.

I suggest that you go to Google webmaster tools and read up on it instead of bleating about it here.

It won't, but eh.

If you’re not already using one I agree with the robots.txt suggestion. Also, try setting up a Google Webmaster account. After verifying that it is your site you can get an idea of what the robots see and that may help you detect why they are not following your commands (are you sure your using the right syntax?)

Webmaster account:
http://www.google.com/webmasters/

Just to let you know, google do not manually index websites or does any modification except the spam department, it's all the bots - I suggest you follow the guidelines of Google, if a site needs to be index, it will get indexed by just putting the link in your signature on any forum (backlink) or as everyone suggested, use the robot.txt file.

[awhite1]

The best solution is a combination of both robots.txt and then adding the meta robots noindex,nofollow,noarchive tags.
