I did not post this information in Google you did.. you have my home listed as a hotel. This is really harassment as I get phone calls at all hours of the night wanting to book a sleeping room in my home. I am a home sales office for the Hyatt Hotel Corp in Chicago. PLease remove my home address in Chesterfield Missouri(that you have listed as a Hyatt hotel) from your web site!

Great article. Helps me know we are all screwed if an ex girlfriend or friend wants to talk crap about you.

I am very surprised that you guys haven't found the answer to this one... It's actually quite easy to remove your name or bad articles about yourself from Google and other search engines. There is a service that does it here: http://www.zallas.com/remove-bad-search-engine-results-bad-press.html
What they simply do is create a dozen of "good" pages about you to burry the bad results further down the listings (2nd page, 3rd page, etc.)... I've recommended this service to 2 companies already and it has worked! They guarantee the result for a fixed fee.
Again, I'm really surprised that you guys think you don't have a way to remove your name from the 1st page...
Good luck!

Please let me know if this helps and I'd like to see if you guys have more feedback in regards to this problem... maybe other tools you'll discover?! Meanwhile, www.zallas.com seems to be the best solution...

That service does not do what the original question asked. It does not REMOVE
anything from the search engine.
If that service works, all it does is bury the information lower in search
results. It's still quite findable.

Well, Leo, you're absolutely right, however you have not found another solution to this problem, have you?
My friend's girlfriend got into a big mess, which was aired on national TV. After that her name appeared in a few articles online and she was very embarassed to see that every time someone Googled her name... So, what's the solution for her??? Nothing that you proposed would help her... E-mail Google a dozen times - they are not going to remove the pages from the index... E-mail CNN, where the article shows, - they could care less...
I whitnessed this service "burry" the negative results far enough to the 3rd page, where no one even cares to look. She's happy, my friend is happy, everyone's happy... Isn't that the bottom line? You don't care if it's erased or not - you just don't want the embarassment... and if it doesn't show on the first page, 99% of the searchers will never find out about that article, website, or whatever it is.
Am I wrong? Tina, in the post above, has a similar problem with her phone number listed - I'm sure there's a similar solution for that...

Look at the title to the article: "How do I remove myself from the search
engines?" You're right, I've not found an answer, because as the article
states, I don't believe there is one.
"Burying" your information lower in the search results is NOT the same as
removing it. Depending on the situation burying it may not be anywhere near
what people are looking for. For example, a dedicated stalker or private
investigator would almost certainly look past page three of the results.
So while burying might be enough for some people, it's most definitely not
enough for many.
And it's not the answer to the question that I was asked.

I’ve tried the Google NAMEcleaner service above (http://www.zallas.com/remove-bad-search-engine-results-bad-press.html) and it successfully removed my company name from the first 17 pages or so (it’s changing almost daily…) from most of the search engines. Somehow, they all work similarly, but there are differences on ask.com for example… Basically, Leo, it pushes the results down so much, it’s just like removing the name from the search engines, so it kind of answers your question :).
