Google URL Removal Tool Does Not Stop Crawling; It Hides The URL In Search

Google URL Removal Tool Does Not Stop Crawling; It Hides The URL In Search.

Google URL removal tool does not stop Google from crawling the URL, instead it just hides that URL in the search results.

This is actually something we covered in 2003where we covered "The URL removal tool does not remove URLs from the index,

it removes them from our search results. The difference is subtle,

but it's a part of the reason why you don't see those submissions affect the indexed URL count."
