This is about classified ads site where people uploads all kinds of articles. And one days someone has added one illegal article while i was in vacation. Hosting company was informed after that and they tried to delete indexed pages of this article with robot.txt.
How robot.txt works can be found here
[google.de...]
And after they did somehing, not clear yet if they did applied in "automatic URL removal system" or not, domain and inc. all indexed pages were gone. I am not sure even domain is paneltied or not. What do you think what could be done from hosting company and how can i put this domain again in Google index?

If they made a syntax mistake in robots.txt that disallowed urls that you really want indexed, and then they used the Google automated URL removal system, those urls will be gone from Google for 180 days. The time scale of 12 hours is mighty fast, even for using the removal tool, but it's possible that this is what happened.

You definitely need to get clear information about what was done.

Thanks for reply. Today morning i found that my domain is back with PR4. The quetion is through "automatic URL removal system" user can delete URL(web pages under domain, web directories), which means not domain or? Because it is really urgent to delete some pages under this domain, i registered and entered those URL(pages) in automatic URL removal system. And i read this article.

Note: If you believe your request is urgent and cannot wait until the next time Google crawls your site, use our automatic URL removal system.In order for this automated process to work, the webmaster must first insert the appropriate meta tags into the page's HTML code.

But they do not say which meta tags. Is noidex meta tags or webmaster evaluating meta tags?
Because someone is in legal problem because of the index cache, these indexed cache had to be deleted within 24hrs, how cna i do this?

There is a choice of methods within the url removal tool - and yes, one of them uses the meta robots noindex tag. I found the instructions in the tool to be straightforward.

these indexed cache had to be deleted within 24hrs

I assume you have deleted these files from your server - that's all you can do in such a short time frame. Google will follow through on your removal at their own pace, which you cannot control -- usually 2 or 3 days in my recent experience.

Because i cannot set languages in Englsih at [services.google.com:8882...]
I must translate which link i used, to tell what have done.
It is last link "delete old link" after link with meta tags help.
And on next page i choosed "Snippet-part" in option. This will work or? I mean it does not have to be deleting with meta tags?
