Site Outages
November 23rd, 2005 at 8:20 am by Preston Taylor HolmesMore housekeeping. As I’m sure you’ve noticed, the site was down last night and this morning. This is entirely due to a google image search for hot teacher whats-her-name.
Does anyone have any advice on how to remove images from a Google image search? If so, please drop me an email (preston-at-sixmeatbuffet.com) or leave info in the comments. Also, if anyone can help with a robots.txt file (since I don’t know squat about that…), it would be much appreciated.
Also remember my backup site – http://sixmeatbuffet.blogspot.com if this site goes down again. Thanks for your understanding.

To exclude specific searches and caching by Googlebot, enter the following lines into your root-level robots.txt ( permissions are -rw-r–r– ) file:
# Block specific engine from specific directory
# “User-agent:” identifies unique bot
# “Disallow:” identifies the excluded path
User-agent: googlebot
Disallow: /path/to/images/not/to/be/indexed/
Hope this helps and addresses what I think you’re concerned about.

Thanks Drivel. That’s pretty much how I’ve set up the robots.txt file. We’ll see if that makes a difference if we get crawled overnight. I’m worried that I’m just in the cache for results as I’ve already moved the images and removed the posts.
I’m hoping that the holiday and the story dying will help kill the traffic so I can quit screwing with this crap and get back to blogging.
Anyhoo, thanks for the tip!

You can always e-mail Google directly. That’s the fastest method. Check out Google’s Webmaster services.
