Thread: Some pages that hurt my se ranking?

I have four pages that have been accidentally published (too happy on the publish button before I realized what I did). I had another post and was told that they could not be unpublished. Will they hurt my se rankings as there are no links to them and the links that are on them probably don't work (they were my templates).

Thanks.

As I mentioned in your other thread you can't actually un-publish, but you can delete them, which will accomplish pretty much the same thing...but as I recall, weren't they just pretty much photos and no titles in your pages? If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will be along to correct me! lol

The only title was "index". How do I delete the pages?

Tools/FTP Manager/Connect

When you have connected you will have a Windows Explorer-type view where you can click on your pages and delete them.

Well you could go about it a couple of ways, but the way, I do it, is through the bluevoda webbuilder FTP. Go under tools, select FTP Manager, click connect, select your ip address, type in your username and password and click connect. On the Right side your public_html folder will come up. If that is where you published your pages to, your html file and all gifs, jpgs, etc, will be listed there. Just select the ones you want to delete and press delete. That's it.

oops AJ beat me to it! lol

You guys are awsome...thank you.

Just a fyi, you do want to delete those pages - but they would never have hurt your ranking. As long as you never told anyone online what the addresses to them was - and there were no links to them - the se's were never going to find them :)
