If removing content is your dilemma, you have one good reason to be thankful about Google. Earlier, Google has unveiled new tools to help webmasters and enthusiasts alike to effortlessly remove content from the search engine. In the right circumstances, some of these tools allow those to request the removal of images or links to pages with personal information about themselves.

The search engine giant announces:

"As a site owner, you control what content of your site is indexed in search engines. The easiest way to let search engines know what content you don't want indexed is to use a robots.txt file or robots meta tag. But sometimes, you want to remove content that's already been indexed. What's the best way to do that?

As always, the answer begins: it depends on the type of content that you want to remove. Our webmaster help center provides detailed information about each situation. Once we recrawl that page, we'll remove the content from our index automatically. But if you'd like to expedite the removal rather than wait for the next crawl, the way to do that has just gotten easier.

For sites that you've verified ownership for in your webmaster tools account, you'll now see a new option under the Diagnostic tab called URL Removals. To get started, simply click the URL Removals link, then New Removal Request. Choose the option that matches the type of removal you'd like."
