How do you self destruct a domain name you use to loose search engine?

[mally]

Hello all.

I'm going to have to give a domain name away to a company who's products I've been promoting for them on a drop ship basis.

Its currently number 3 in google and i'm annoyed that I've got it there.

Is there a way I can get it removed from the search engines before I transfer it back, so they can start again with the domain should they wish?

Cheers

Employ a cheapo 'SEO Guru' who will stick some cheapo 1000-links-for-$5 then give it a month and its screwed

@ ROb, love it!

Alternatively (or both) go to webmaster tools and request url/s remove

I ought to add - price is no guide to quality - so the SEO Guru could cost a whack or is cheap - but still provides utter rubbish.

1. Leave site as is but change robots.txt to basically tell Google to fuck off. (discreet)
2. Remove it from webmasters tools
3. Put porn links hidden in it then get a mate to report it
4. Re-direct it to sex.com

Oh and get this thread deleted too!

upload a virus to it?

Edit your robots.txt

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

That prevents any indexing of the site.

That's probably the most instant way Find an old iframe hack that no longer works and stick the iframe in the page.

just use google webmaster tools and remove it from index

Funny thread. Bear in mind there's a difference between getting it removed using robots.txt/ webmaster tools and getting it penalised. All depends on whether you intend to screw them permanently or just temporarily. But bear in mind whatever you do will incur Karma.

Translate it all into Chinese.

Funny but,

I wouldn't upload a virus or anything like that, you could get sued by someone whose machine was infected if they can prove you infected their machine.

Park the domain at Sedo or Namedrive, changing he name servers it will get de-indexed I can assure you and you'll get a bit of revenue.

Also send the the guys who want the domain the old paper based transfer forms, it will slow everything down & you'll get a bit more parking rev! ( tell em you haven't got a nom account for that domain!) also it will be pain for them!

I've had sites de-indexed for a nameserver change too.

Another way - you take everything off it, and put a whole load of material on it from another site you own.

That way the site will be de-indexed for duplicate material inside a couple of days ...

this is what I do to people who don't pay up for website development:

Please do not look if you are sensitive.

strip content off, put on another site
on original site make into an anti putin and medvedev site

call putin a faggot amongst other things

see if the new owners (publicly listed whois )........ are ever seen again

Er, but don't do that in a hurry, or the dupe cops will penalise you for duplicating yourself. Allow a few weeks before you put it up again.
