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

I would not attempt to influence the court in any way to remove the document or block it with robots.txt.

These are public records that the public, including search engines, have a right to.

If they are taken down or blocked, does your client actually want to be in the middle of that scandal? And there will be a scandal on that one.

Just think how good it would be for him to have a whole new set of reports about how he was trying to have that document disappear, and have links to that document.

Like I said before, forget about the bad press and concentrate on getting the good press up to the top. Don't make a big deal out of something that you want to be a small deal.

Just think about that Mark Maughan clown referenced earlier. instead of having that issue go away with the next update, he now looks like a legitimate idiot even when there are not snippet issues.
