      A few months ago I moved all my Wordpress images into a sub domain. After I purchased CDN service, I again moved that images to my root domain. I added User-agent: * Disallow: / to my CDN domain.

      But now, when I perform site search on the Google, I found that my CDN sub domains are indexed by the Google. I think this will make duplicate content issue. I already hit by the Panguin. How do I remove these search results on Google?

      Should I add my cdn domain to webmaster tools to request URL removal request?

      Problem is, If I use cdn.mydomain.com it shows my www.mydomain.com.

      My blog:- http://goo.gl/58Utt

      site search result:- http://goo.gl/ElNwc

            Blocking with robots.txt doesn't remove pages/files from the search engines, it only prevents them from crawling the subdomain. If they already crawled those resources, as they have in your case, the robots.txt will just block them from visiting it again, but will not remove them.

            What you should do is authenticate the subdomain with webmaster tools, and then remove the subdomain via the url removal tool, as you asked. This is the way to go about it.

            To verify the subdomain, there are multiple options, including via your host, or you can modify the dns to prove you own the subdomain - it really depends on your setup and what you need to do.

            But to remove these results permanently, with your robots.txt block, you should do it via the URL removal tool.

            Good luck,

            Mark

              Google image search filter tabs and how to rank on them

              I have noticed Google image search has included suggestion tabs (e.g,. design, nature... when searching background) on the top of the image search.
              Are there specific meta tags I can add into my images so that my images will show up on each tab?
              Do those filters just show content based on image keywords or something else? IRme7gQ

              Removing a site from Google index with no index met tags

              Hi there! I wanted to remove a duplicated site from the google index. I've read that you can do this by removing the URL from Google Search console and, although I can't find it in Google Search console, Google keeps on showing the site on SERPs. So I wanted to add a "no index" meta tag to the code of the site however I've only found out how to do this for individual pages, can you do the same for a entire site? How can I do it? Thank you for your help in advance! L

              How do I "undo" or remove a Google Search Console change of address?

              I have a client that set a change of address in Google Search Console where they informed Google that their preferred domain was a subdomain, and now they want Google to also consider their base domain (without the change of address). How do I get the change of address in Google search console removed?

              Images on sub domain fed from CDN

              I have a client that uses a CDN to fill images, from a sub domain ( images.domain.com). We've made sure that the sub domain itself is not blocked. We've added a robots.txt file, we're creating an image sitemap file & we've verified ownership of the domain within GWT. Yet, any crawler that I use only see's the first page of the sub domain (which is .html) but none of the subsequent URL's which are all .jpeg. Is there something simple I'm missing here?

              Google is indexing my directories

              I'm sure this has been asked before, but I was looking at all of Google's results for my site and I found dozens of results for directories such as: Index of /scouting/blog/wp-includes/js/swfupload/plugins Obviously I don't want those indexed. How do I prevent Google from indexing those? Also, it only seems to be doing it with Wordpress, not any of the directories on my main site. (We have a wordpress blog, which is only a portion of the site)

              Notice of DMCA removal from Google Search

              Dear Mozer's Today I get from Google Webmaster tools a "Notice of DMCA removal" I'll paste here the note to get your opinions "Hello, Google has been notified, according to the terms of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), that some of your materials allegedly infringe upon the copyrights of others. The URLs of the allegedly infringing materials may be found at the end of this message. The affected URLs are listed below: http://www.freesharewaredepot.com/productpages/Ultimate_Spelling__038119.asp" So I perform these steps: 1. Remove the page from the site (now it gives 404). 2. Remove it from database (no listed on directory, sitemap.xml and RSS) 3. I fill the "Google Content Removed Notification form" detailing the removal of the page. My question is now I have to do any other task, such as fill a site reconsideration, or only I have to wait. Thank you for your help. Claudio

              How to push down outdated images in Google image search

              When you do a Google image search for one of my client's products, you see a lot of first-generation hardware (the product is now in its third generation). The client wants to know what they can do to push those images down so that current product images rise to the top. FYI: the client's own image files on their site aren't very well optimized with keywords. My thinking is to have the client optimize their own images and the ones they give to the media with relevant keywords in file names, alt text, etc. Eventually, this should help push down the outdated images is my thinking. Any other suggestions? Thanks so much.
