Hello there, I am looking for some help with removing a website, if possible, from the Google search results (or even entirely) of my name that contains my personal information. I tried using the Google “request personal content removal” tool/form, but was informed that they would not remove ... More on discuss.privacyguides.net

I was recently looking for such instructions, and most of them are complicated. Good job. More on reddit.com

I tried this about a year ago, and have some very good results. A search for my first & last name + state would yield about 50 results with my home address, previous addresses, family members, high school and college, utility bills (wtf?), past and current employers, and so on and so forth. Started going through the first 20 pages of results for just my name, and directly contacting any websites that had valid matches. Then, more targeted searches for my name + hometown, name + college, etc. Most didn't care, so I lied. Told them I was dealing with a very serious threat to my safety, by someone who has already violated a restraining order. 100% bullshit, but it got me instantly removed from every single place I contacted. I've got exactly zero problem lying to these people. Then I had to go through and change all of the various profiles I had online. Harder than it sounds. Just try and think of every site you have ever created an account with. With enough digging, I found my LiveJournal.com account from 2002... my MySpace account from about the same time... my AOL account from 1997... I didn't keep a list, but I believe it was 100+ different sites. That's when I started hitting a problem - there are some bad / weird people out there with the same name as me. Especially with exact matches for first-middle-last. To give examples: Guy who raped and impregnated his pre-teen daughter Major drug smuggler caught in Juarez (not a Mexican name, not even close..) Gay porn actor who actually looks extremely similar to me I don't want creepy people having all of my information readily available - but I don't want normal people looking me up and finding that crap, either. So now I've got some reverse-SEO going on. There's only three people in my state with my name. Now I've got it up to about 50. I used fakenamegenerator to spin up several instances of different ages / ss#'s / addresses / etc. - and started filling out everything I could. Changed all of those old random accounts I had to match some of the new personas of the same name. Started signing up for every forum I could find, for every topic imaginable. Signed up for so. much. spam mail. - every stupid contest and sweepstakes I could find. Only took a few hours before results started hitting the first page. Within a few days, first 20 pages of results for my exact name + hometown (or any other secondary identifier) is filled with unrelated, useless garbage. If you dug deeper past that, you would eventually still find some results that are valid. Can't get rid of everything - but at least they're well hidden. They look identical to the other thousands of results. But.... that would encourage people to keep on looking for me, wouldn't it? So I made it easy for them, and made some real profiles. My decoy Facebook account is now the number one result. While searching through old social and email accounts, I found a fb account I made when it first got released beyond Harvard. Had hundreds and hundreds of random friends from local colleges - because back then, people were still treating it like MySpace and racking up as many random connections as possible. So there's that - which I updated with a reasonably nice looking profile picture, a few random hobbies, and a bunch of religious quotes. I like to comment and share posts from local and state PD, and uplifting local news. Also have matching FourSquare, Yelp, and Google Plus accounts. I tend to check-in to places occasionally with them - random churches or public parks. So now if you search for me, you're going to instantly see that I am a wholesome and upstanding citizen, with nothing to hide. That being said - it won't mean fuck all if someone who knows what they're doing is looking for me. None of my search engine optimization shenanigans will even remotely inconvenience professional investigators - private or otherwise. More on reddit.com

LPT: you cant.
You can pay for someone to bump the 'bad stuff' down to the 2nd or 3rd page but it isn't ever going away.

You'd be better off contacting the admin of the site and asking them to remove/update the info on the site.
