I'm not sure why this is happening as I was under the impression that this was a closed forum but there they were, no site to check out just my lack of knowledge about web building for the whole world to see. My question now is can I contact Yahoo to remove them as I would like to use Yahoo shopping soon for my site or will this just set me back. And how can I prevent my conversations with you guys from being accessed through Yahoo search engine. Thanks kenb |
Hi Ken.
This is not a closed forum. Every single post on this forum is indexed by the search engines. And for us, that's a good thing. That's why we include a link to our sites in our signatures. It helps us all. You cannot get them removed because they aren't yours. This site gets spidered by bots thousands of times a day. It is especially optimised to do so. The only thing I can suggest is that if you don't like being out there then don't post, but I really wouldn't worry. You are in excellent company - all our questions are out there too and they help thousands of other people. I would recommend that you embrace it, add your link to your signature and make it work for you.
