Now to tackle Yahoo and Bing!

Thanks. My concern was whether Google were back to notifying those whose links were removed and so they’d just changed the url to be awkward. This url didn’t appear at first and it’s only been a couple of days since my request. What I think is probably more likely is there were 2 urls for the story originally (the original page still exists) and Google had disregarded the new one. Once the irl had been removed the new one then appeared in search results. I replied to the email with the new url and it was gone within an hour or two.Its a bit of a crazy feeling putting your name into google and nothing appearing after 15 years of worry.
