Did you know that you can now tell Google which country or geographic location your website should be associated with? You can set the geographic location via the Google Webmaster Tools.

Via the Google Webmaster Central Blog :
“The information you give us will help us determine how your site appears in our country-specific search results, and also improves our search results for geographic queries.”

To remove content from the Google index, you can do one of the following:

1. Ensure requests for the page return an HTTP status code of either 404 or 410.
2. Block the page using a robots.txt file.
3. Block the page using a meta noindex tag.

Your content will then be removed from the index the next time Google crawls your site.

Once you have done the above you can also expedite your content removal by logging in to your Google Webmaster Tools account and use the new URL Removals tool. With the new tool you can remove:

1. Individual URLs: web pages, images, or other files
2. A directory and all subdirectories on your site
3. Your entire site
4. Cached copy of a Google search result

Removals are effective for 6 months and you can revoke a removal at any time.

You can use the Site Status page to learn more about the status of your site on Google Index if you don’t already have a Google Webmaster Tools account. It also lists potential indexing problems on your site.
