Found another website today that had reposted the information. When it happend. UK database. I don't see google having an issue removing the search result. I can't ever see these websites being shut down. No doubt they have done their research and not breaking any "rules" Just something I have to live with for the rest of my life. It never ends.

Just to remind everyone, you don't need to keep Googling yourself to find links. If you set a Google alert for your name, Google will do the hard work for you and provide the links. You can then copy and paste them and spend the time you've saved doing something more pleasant.

I couldn't get that to work when you posted about it before.

There's every chance I just didn't set it up right but I've so far received 0 alerts yet I found a few articles when manually checking at the time.

I've just taken a closer look, and once you enter something in the search box, you can click "Show options" to set how often, which sources, which regions and so on. Then enter your email address and click "Create alert". That should do it, but there are no guarantees you won't get false negatives.

I'll take a wee look. 

Thankfully I've not really had anything pop-up for a while now so fingers crossed I'm basically clean for the most part. I tend to do a manual check every couple of weeks or so and still coming up with nothing.

Mine is showing up again. Because of this reindexing thing. Do you think the website done this on purpose? Just to make it harder to get on with our lives?

Is it just a different ID on the end like I showed? If it is the case then as annoying as it is I wouldn't worry about it, just keep on top of the links and they'll go away eventually.

As for doing it on purpose? Seeing the state of the websites I'd very, very surprised if the creator actually possesses the knowledge and skill to achieve it on purpose, this is more of a "happy" accident on their part.
