YANA - YOU ARE NOT ALONE NOW

PROSTATE CANCER SUPPORT SITE

 

 

This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer.
There are only four rules:

  • No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
  • No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
  • No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
  • Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making

Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.

Since this is an International Forum, please specify your location in your post.

Re: Our Information

I was wondering if it is alive link in which case if I asked Terry to change what it says the link would show a toned down version and I could have an alias?

Thanks for your time.
You are no stranger here, being following your comments since my start.
The problem with me was I just did not think of what was mundane to me then with all the others things I had going with my health problem especially in a foreign language (French)

Re: Our Information

Terry changed my name on the Yana site and even removed my story, but it is still on Google when I type my full name in to Google

Re: Our Information

I'm on holiday in South Africa right now with very limited Internet access - hence the delayed response.

There is nothing I can do about changing names or deleting stories until I get home. Sorry, but I did warn you!

Anything on the Internet lives forever.

Re: Our Information

I have added a bit more to the posting aboveDON'T USE YOUR NAME....... to try to expand on this subject so that men have a better understanding of the issues.

Hope this helps

Re: Our Information

Sorry for the late reply but once the posts run off the first page I tend to not see them.

There's actually a couple of issues to something like this. First. Yes it's a live link so if Terry changes the webpage name the link in the Google listing won't work anymore. So if you remove your personal information in the story and change the webpage name you can protect yourself the way you want to. Second. Google keeps a cached version of the webpage and it stays around for a long time.

So my advice is to copy and paste your current story on yananow and remove the parts you don't want to share with the world. Then ask Terry to rename your story to a pseudonym of your choice and replace the story with your edited version. That gives you the protection you want and the Google listing of your current story will eventualy drop off when they index the current story again and don't find it. How long that will be I don't know.

Here's a link to a support page on Google that tells you how to remove a page.

Remove a page or site from Google's search results

Hopefully this will allow you to get your personal information removed from a Google search.

Re: Our Information

Thanks for that I will do as you suggest.
Maybe this foolishness of mine has helped others hopefully
