06.22.10 Completely Removing Your Site From Google  By Bill HartzerThis is only one seo tip out of many search engine optimization tips I have been providing over the years. All of my search engine optimization tips are meant to be specific, they should not take too much time to implement, and are meant to be directly to the point.

Click on "Site Configuration" then "Crawler Access" and then "Remove URL" as shown below:  2.
