I need help in clearing google links
Hey Duers,

It seems there are some nasty google hits with my name attached. I don't know how they got there or why. When you hit, it has nothing to do with me, but my name and place of work are attached to the link. I don't get it.

Here's my question. Does google have a number to call or method of clearing items that don't belong to the subject? Is there any appeal process?

4. I'm not sure what if anything you can do, but I can tell you what not to do...

Don't sue google, it will just make it worse. The best thing you can probably do is to not worry about it.

5. True. The best way to get noticed
is by waving your hands in the air and yelling "Don't look at me!"

It's not that big of a deal and I thought there was an easy way to appeal. But if not, I won't lose sleep over it.
