@sethbergman Hi. As far as I understand, "Requires access to Google Webmaster Tools in order to submit robots.txt and use the URL remover tool. Then ask Google to crawl, fetch and render, then submit." - doing this requires the access granted to the domain name owner.
Am I headed in the right direction? Thanks!
sethbergman commentedon May 4, 2019
@aasifkhan7 that's exactly what you have to do. 👍
kylemh commentedon May 4, 2019
@aasifkhan7 I wouldn't spend any time on this issue. See if there's anything you'd like to tackle in the new repo
aasifkhan7 commentedon May 4, 2019
But I do not own the domain, hence I cannot have the access to Google Webmaster. So, how do I proceed with this? Thanks!
aasifkhan7 commentedon May 4, 2019
Hi. I was just curious about the access part. So. I'll look up issues in the new repo. Thanks.!
