hello all,
i have a problem... one of my members has contacted me about 2 pages that are in Archive in google containing his full name and phone number.. (he used to have it in his Sig but dosent want it on the net anymore)
i have added
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOARCHIVE">
to my Header to prevent BOT's from archiving text on the forum, BUT my question is.. when the bot trawls again will it read this and delete any previous archived material from my site.. therefore deleting his name and number?
or do i need to contact google directly to get it deleted??

Thanks

Macker

You're almost right.

Google will probably loose the page, but http://web.archive.org has it forever.
