---- Client wants record of old lawsuit moved down in rank

mhNY,

There is one outside possibility that might be suggested to your clients. Make a formal request of the court to have a robots NOINDEX meta tag added to the page.

Insofar as the court will simply say yes or no, this should not be expensive.

I can see no particular reason why the court would refuse since they are (probably) under no legal obligation to allow search engines to access their site.

However, even if the court did agree, you would then have to get Google to remove the page because it could be months before Googlebot got around to looking at it again.

Kaled.

PS A lawyer that plays golf with an appropriate judge would be a big plus.
