If they are allowed to do it to Matt Cutts and get away with it they will do it to anyone. These sites should be stopped.

I pulled the information from MY web site 18 months ago, completely shut the site down, and created a DIFFERENT site with the same name.... yet information I had on the first site NOT available to the public to begin with ( I was simply storing court documents on the server) are showing in the searches.... how do I get THAT stopped? It's not in the CACHED pages either it's stored as a down loadable document. (that was how I had it stored on that server)....

If in fact I provide you with a list of successful cases against ROR, does this mean that you will reconsider? Since you arent the truth police and the courts are... and that seems fair.. then all you need are court documents right ? There have been many cases lost by ROR and the basis of what they were doing was wrong and/or illegal. Now that you have agreed to go by what the courts decide (and there is documentation of such that exists with ROR as the loser in the cases) does this mean you would only remove the ROR page of the company that won against suing ROR or that you will at the very least put less emphasis on giving them high results? If its in fact up to a court to decide what should be done, I would be more than happy to provide you with court findings on ROR where they lost. But the question is, would it really make a difference like you said? I hope so. Please respond. Im curious about you stating on whether courts agree with the wrong doings of ROR.

I have a court decision document giving me an "absolute discharge" of the charge, in other words I should never have been charged in the first place. I have contacted the webmaster of the site twice and with no success. Is there somewhere I can send a copy of my court document to have the link removed? Thanks, Costa Hi Matt,

I had sent a request to www.consumercomplaints.in to remove my post submitted from their website. www.consumercomplaints.in has already removed the page from their website and has also sent a request to google servers. I have also requested the same through Page Removal Tool. However, still after several requests sent by me and the website webmaster the content still displays in google search without any relevant information when clicked on that search result list. I would like to request google to remve it from their cache as all the required steps have been already taken by Website Owner or Webmaster and myself Hi Matt,

You would never post to these sites with positive content. One of my clients has a big issue now as someone now is adding to Wiki another site that seems to dominate top rankings, combined wiki and ROR and their references to each other makes if very difficult to keep incorrect information from the top of Google, because of the weight of the site not because of the facts. Thus this makes it very easy for negative content to get to the top and not positive. It's in human nature to write negative stuff and not positive stuff.

The problem is that in my case, it's the court that's publishing erroneous information about me. While the court do not use my name directly, it uses another's adding my name as an a.k.a. Fight the court you suggest? I'm sure you know how expensive it is to get justice. If it's not the government milking us, it's the lawyers. Can't win fighting either one of them - either one will get your money. What worth saving a good name when it costs every penny one's got? What's in a name anyway you say? Well, because the published person's name is aka'ed mine, coming from the court people are likely to miscontrue one for the other. For example, Joe Blow is also known as the Bostron Stranger. It isn't so. The Boston Strangler was actually a different person that was never taken to court. Result: wherever Joe Blow goes, those who have seen the Google "info" construe Joe Blow as the Boston Strangler. Google should at the very least drop web information that are disputed.
