Deleting Post

Hi Ab Editor

Please could you delete the post so that those buying my quiz sheet cannot find the answers on here coming up when they start googling for them. Thank you

[AB Editor]

LOL - so they can all post the questions again individually? :)

I'll remove it shortly. Make sure you mention the quiz on our round-up when it is released :)

But seriously though folks ... how quickly does google 'lose' stuff from deleted threads on here - it must be cached in their engines for a while?

[AB Editor]

We get crawled several times a day because of the sheer amount of content on the site, and the speed at which it appears.

Removed threads gets picked off surprisingly quickly these days.

It used to take a lot longer before they reworked how their servers processed things (called the "caffeine" update) - this was about the time they introduced Google Instant.

sunny-dave: Google doesn't 'lose' stuff as quick as AnswerBank does, eh Ed! lol

"Google doesn't 'lose' stuff as quick as AnswerBank does, eh Ed! lol"

I am not sure what that's supposed to mean? Feel free to explain yourself, or grumble on I suppose.

"Thanks Ed. You will have to let me know how I do the round up thing then. I dont think Ive ever seen it"

You just post it as an answer on this thread: http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Quizzes-and-Puzzles/Question1238843.html assuming you're doing postal entries etc :)

Do they do a Google Flat White too?

[AB Editor]

No.

We've had some versions of "Penguin" though - which is black and white.

Thanks for the reply Ed. I'll let it drop thank you. But I chuckled at your choice of the word grumble. ;o)
