How to remove pages from google

[Spartan]

I have a phpBB3 forum,

I installed it in somewhat start of the may

now it is a quite active and new topics and members are posting


in the start of of may my whole forum was flooded by bots seeling cheap pharmacy and assh*le products

i deleted all those posts ( around fuc*in 30k )

Now when i checked in google around 3000 are still there and indexed in google
when i click on that google link , i get topic does not exist

i wanna remove them all


I checked in google webmasters and found a category for Remove URLs
But the only problem is that i need to submit URL one by one
and then again click to confirm it

I have already removed somewhat 200
But this is fuc*in irritating

Please help to remove them all at one go !

How to do it ?

You can't do anything, better leave it as is (return a 404) and let google remove them.

Just put a 404 that redirects back to your homepage so you keep hold of all your traffic until you manage to get them all removed.

Those are fukin pharmaceutical products like viagra, sildenafil , drugs like ofloxacin etc etc
this is seriously very irritating

i already waited over a month and google is not removing them
around 1 n half month back i removed few 100 results
now today again i removed few 100
but count is same google is only removing which i add in remove URL

and i am seriously hating my self for being such a jerk who kept open forum for botz.

This problem is affecting my search results as well
around 1 month back google was not indexing my posts though forum was having over 100k posts

but i have not stop working ,now i have posted over 800k posts and now google is indexing them all but the speed is still slow
i am pretty much sure this fukkkin bots have ruined my forum.....
and i will remove them any how even if i have to remove it one by one

those pages are not getting any traffic ,
i know 404

Wait for a few hours Spartan. The links will be removed.
Do it with robots.txt too, as you have used the webmaster tools already.
It isn't instant, it may take a day at most.

I have removed around 500 links manually via webmaster but it is quite hectic ,
Google removes only those links which i add in webmasters
what about others

there are over 4k still remaining with the word ( pharmacy ) in it
if i check for individual drugs then there could be 10 k more

You don't need to do anything. As long as you have a good 404 page then over time Google will slowly remove the dead pages from it's index. Just make sure you have a good valid and helpful 404 page so if anyone lands on it they can easily search or find what they are looking for.

Bonus
You don't realize it but your in a great position. People are coming to your site after searching something. You should record what they are looking for when they land on these 404 pages and then you'll know what type of content you should create. For example let's say you own a sports website and loads of people are arriving on your 404 error page while searching for second hand golf clubs then the obvious thing to do is make a page on your site about this. Then when Google finds the new page it's far more likely to send them to this new page and push the old missing 404 page further down the results.
By doing this your going to increase your traffic as when Google eventually removed the dead 404 page from your index you'll have a new page optimized for those keywords receiving traffic.

They are coming for that crap drug searches and forum is a porn board
how can i add relevant page on 404 page for it
not possible

Neither that traffic is suitable for me in any way

I have one doctor ( medical ) related site but adding that site in 404 page of porn board
is the worst thing i can imagine

[Mr Happy]

Use your imagination. Of course you can use it to your advantage.
"High" college girls have fun. Old man uses viagra to f##k young slut. Guy screws drugged girl.
These are drug related porn titles. You just need to use your imagination to turn this into traffic for your site.

Mr Happy pretty much hit it on the head, if that's what people are looking for. You should probably utilize what you already have and use ad's that will benefit you. Plenty of affiliate ads for what you have listed in terms of pharmaceuticals.
