Removing blog from Google

I have some Blogger blogs which I want to move to a Wordpress site.

Yesterday, I removed the URLs of the blogger blog using the Remove URLs option in Google Webmaster Tools. Today, it says the URLs have been removed, but when I type part of the blog content in quotes in Google it still appears on the homepage and the archive page even though I removed those URLs using the Remove URLs tool.

In my experience, it takes up to 4 weeks or longer for a post to be no longer indexed in Google. Is there anyway to remove the content quicker or will I need to wait weeks before posting the content on the other site?

    Noindex your blogger pages, & build external links from pages that are constantly getting reindexed to get Google to find the noindex. Or, noindex & wait for Google to try & reindex the pages. Either way you need to noindex the pages If you don't want the pages showing up in Google SERPs.

    • How do I noindex the blogger pages?

      Does each page need to be noindexed seperately or can the whole blog be noindexed?

  • Why did you remove them in the first place. It would have been easier to 301 redirect all your content to your Wordpress sites.

    Webmaster tools allows you to do that - https://support.google.com/webmaster...er/83105?hl=en

    I've done it in the past and seen my search results restored within a week after submitting a change of address through Webmaster Tools.
  • For fastening the process, you can also 301 your blogger post to WordPress posts. For this purpose just look at this plugin is this is going to help anyways - httx://wordpress.org/plugins/blogger-301-redirect/

      You can't 301 redirect a blogspot post to anything.

      You could do a meta redirect on blogspot but that has nothing to do with Google SERPs since the page source code has to load first in order for the meta redirect to work. Meta redirects are only for traffic.
