What gives google the right to include my site/info in their search?

It's my site... and I may not want it in thier search results. Do I have any recourse?

Could you imagine what would happen to google stock if they had to pay to include results vs. the other way round???

You can tell their bots to not index your site.

I think that's it... I'm doing that from memory and before coffee. Wink

For what reason would you not want to be indexed by google and as posted above you can stop indexing.
