Cached pages
I have taken my tutoring website down as I don't want it up or anyone to see it when I am teaching.
There is nothing there to be ashamed of, but it does give a business phone number and has pics of me and says the town I live in.
The trouble is, it is still visible, Google says it is "cached".
I don't know what that means, but I want to get it down, now!
Please help!Why build an engine when you have a perfectly good whale?

This page should help -

Though Google's caching doesn't usually take a full copy of the site - just odd pages with gaps where non-existent photos should be and links that take you to the original (removed) pages.
Besides, you've got an iconic namesake who'll muddy the Google results a little.Dennis, Francois, Melba and Smasher are competing to see who can wine and dine Lola Whitecastle and win the contract to write her memoirs. Can Dennis learn how to be charming? Can Francois concentrate on anything else when food is on the table? Will Smasher keep his temper under control?
If only the 28th century didn't keep popping up to get in Dennis's way...

I've looked at that, but it relies on me being able to access the html code of my website, which I cannot because I don't know how.

Ok, the easiest thing to do is
If you own the site, you can verify your ownership in Webmaster Tools and use the verified URL removal tool to remove an entire directory from Google's search results.
The complicated stuff is mainly for sites which are active but which, for whatever reason, the webmasters want to keep private.Dennis, Francois, Melba and Smasher are competing to see who can wine and dine Lola Whitecastle and win the contract to write her memoirs.

I did upload the file but the verification kept failing.
To be honest, I didn't know what they meant by "upload" - I stuck the object they gave me on thew homepage (I use a template) but it didn't work because the verification kept wanting to look for a page with that name but it doesn't exist.Why build an engine when you have a perfectly good whale?

Does anyone use Hostpapa?
I can't find ANYTHING on the support or cpanel that tells me how to edit the html. There may well be something, but it's just words I don't understand rather than a button that says "edit html" which is what I need?
Or something about changing the DNS configurations? I really don't know what these things are.Why build an engine when you have a perfectly good whale?

It needs to be a stand-alone file so it can look at www.yourdomain.com/google1234567890.html rather than part of a page. If your template won't let you upload new pages then it won't work. Nor will any of the other things Google suggests (tags, robot text files etc). All you can do is wait.
Unless you want to create some fake pages with made up information. People only ever click on the cache link if the main search result link either comes up with an error page or a blank page.Dennis, Francois, Melba and Smasher are competing to see who can wine and dine Lola Whitecastle and win the contract to write her memoirs.

If your hosting package supports FTP then http://hostpapasupport.com/index.php...63&nav=0,11,21 will show you how to upload the Google verification file.

Sorry but I don't understand what the words on that link mean, I just don't get it.
Even the helpdesk can't help me at the moment. I hate Google for doing this to me.Why build an engine when you have a perfectly good whale?

Frankly I don't think I'll be doing it again. The helpdesk have made me feel really stupid for not knowing all this stuff. I've never been taught it and was just muddling along, they don't seem to get that I don't know all these words. I've tried to learn, but without actually being taught it I am not doing very well. I'm not one of those people who "picks things up" - I need to read instructions or have someone tell me.
