Ever wanted to know the clear-cut way to remove URLs from Google? Matt Cutts shows you how in this video that was highlighted in the Google Webmaster Central blog:
Good stuff. I'm still not a videophile though. (My question to Matt: have you been inspired by Whiteboard Friday?)

gabs, what is this IIS of which you speak? ;) Seriously though, I described .htaccess because a lot of people are familiar with it, but you could do similar things on IIS to deny Googlebot. Tamar, I enjoy Whiteboard Friday. In this case, I just happened to be in an office with a whiteboard, so I decided to go for it. But I also used a whiteboard a long time ago in my Googlebot video: http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/video-crawl-dates-in-the-google-cache/

BFF, you're well aware that Matt's SEO videos more than pre-date Whiteboard Friday. :)

Yes, I know, but there was a lot of whitespace in that post and I needed to say something... :)
