Google showing removed links when search for my website


My website had a link to my profilepage, profile.html. Later I changed it to ItsMe.html. When I search for the website in the Google, its still showing profile.html. How can I change this to ItsMe.html in the google? In fact I have deleted the profil.html from my website and created the new itsme.html. I dont want to show the profile.html anywhere in google search.


Solution

  • You will have to wait until Google crawls your site again. Once they do that, they will update their index. For a popular, continually updated site that would probably happen several times a day, but for a small personal site that doesn't often change, it will likely be a lot longer.

    You can submit a request for them to recrawl your site, but no guarantees it will actually happen any quicker. ;-)

    You should also set up a 301 redirect from profile.html to ItsMe.html.
