    @slotsaff, DO NOT use this or you’ll block all bots including Google.

    Is this the viable option then?

    • Meta tags.
    The noindex meta standard is described at The Web Robots Pages. This method is useful if you don’t have root access to your server, as it allows you to control access to your site on a page-by-page basis.

    To prevent all robots from indexing your site, place the following meta tag into the section of your index page:

    I used a new email address to confirm ownership of sites and had them removed, and it worked!. Now will see if they sell off this email address.

    It says I have to download a file and add to the site – did you do that?!

    I emailed them and demanded they remove it right away because google penalized us. They removed them right away.

    Judy send me your robots.txt to check it :-)…. it should not block googlebot.
    Did you try google fetch to test any url?

    You can atually also email them to remove it from their listings and remove the block once they remove the site from their listings..

    I did both and so far so good… no changes yet or any issues..

    It wouldn’t surprise me if Google dumps the whole updowner.com domain from their Serps.

    I had a friend who something similar 4-5 years back and Google dumped him in 2 weeks. Surprised these guys are still showing in the serps.

    There is a thread running on Google by webmasters outside of this industry about updowner
