Wish you could delete URLs but you can't...

Oopps. Not to worry. Yahoo has recently added one of the most important features to its Site Explorer and that is the ability to delete URLs from its index. Yes! Yahoo has finally come up with that feature.

Through it, you need not wait for Yahoo to spider your website and find a missing URL or an updated robots.txt file. You can actually delete them when you want to.

To delete a URL just find the same in the Site Explorer and click the delete URL button. This feature does not restrict the crawler from requesting the URL but it will avoid that particular URL from being shown in the index.

URLs should be deleted within 48 hours. If you do make a mistake and delete a URL, but later want to undo delete, that option is available under the Manage - Actions section of Site explorer.

Enthusiasts are hoping that Google would also offer the same feature, for webmasters clean up the mess and for engines to provide better search engine results.
