Which is the best and quick way to remove URL(s) from Google,Bing search engines?
-
"Remove URL", "Set Expiry in meta tag", "no index no follow " or some thing else.
-
dont forget to submit a new sitemap to google within GWT AFTER you finish your removals and other changes as suggested. that should also force google to act a bit faster than it would otherwise do in recognizing the changes.

Thanks for your response. I applied your way but page not going to be decrease.
After that I applied "Expiry" meta on that pages.

Thanks for your interest.One more questions. Let you know by Example.
Search engine crawled lac of pages, because of some issue I would like to remove my pages from search engine result, as per my knowledge I set "Expiry" meta tag on that pages which I want to remove from search engine result. Will you please let us know that how much time will be taken place? Note: as per example I set 23-Aug as expiry date.

Thanks for you answer, Yes it's best way to do this but I am confuse in 301 redirection and Expiry Meta tag.Which method gives me faster response?
-
Thanks for your response.
We want to remove around 100+ URLs daily.I think its bit tough to do by remove URL.if we did then, Should It impact on Domain authority?
-
Another way we found helpful is:
-
adding the meta robots=noindex tag to these pages
-
submitting those URLs + sitemap.xml in Google Webmaster Tools
Hope this helps

Two very good answers IMO by Moosa and Philipp. I am not sure why you are removing, but remember there will be cached pages on the web for some indefinite period. If it was only a short time, etc. maybe very few or hard to find, but typically there is something...somewhere.

Actually, in my experience the quickest way is to 301 redirect it to another URL. This is even quicker than disabling the URL and let it return a 404 (which would be my second choice).
Also, keep in mind that only using GWT does not have any impact on Bing! -
The quickest way to remove the URL from the search index is by using Google’s webmaster tool!
Go to GWT and request a link removal and it will be gone for 90 days and then set the no index tag this way your URL will be out of the search index for the life to come!
Hope this helps!

Google vs. Bing
We rolled out a new site for a customer on an old (branded) domain (14 years old) about 3 weeks ago, and we are doing very, very well in Google for 40+ keywords, but we can't make a dent in Bing. Absolutely nothing. We are using the Webmaster tools for both. Are we missing something? Are we not using the Bing Webmaster tools correctly?

Googl travel dates
I have just noticed, while checking where our hotel clients rank for certain keywords, and noticed a panel on the left hand side called Travel dates. There was a check in and check out option which could be populated manually or by using a drop down calendar. But there's no submit button or anything like that. What is this panel for, and can any benefit be had from it, because from what I can see it doesn't actually do anything (unless it's not displaying properly on my computer?
