print 404 header 1

[1DMF]

hello,

I've been told that to remove my site from google I need to output a 404 error.

someone said you can do this with ASP, so can someone help please.

I was going to create an index.asp that outputs 404 error, so google will remove my site via the URL Removal tool.

does anyone know how to do this please.

Thanks

Can't you just get on your web server and rename your site something other than what it is listed in Google as??

Then when they click on your Google indexed site, they don't find your site cause you renamed it.

no I want to remove it form the index so I can then put in a redirect.

I've deleted the site but it gives a 403 NOT 404 and google webmaster tools keeps denying site removal request.

it must be a 404 or 410 return code

This is all you need to put into your asp page.

<@%LANGUAGE="VBScript"%>
<%
   Response.Status = "404 Not Found" 
%>

lol - it's ok I'd got it myself ;-)

<%

  response.Status="404 Not Found"
  response.Write(response.Status)
  response.End
%>
