How to get rid of yahoo answers answers when I search my name?

  • When ever I search my name on google I see my answers on google. I deleted that yahoo account, and it takes 90 days for yahoo to terminate the account. Instead of my yahoo answers name ever since then it shows my actual name for my answers? After 90 days will my answers disappear off my name? Or could I just sign up for enough forums that it puts my yahoo answers way back. Or what should I do? 7 minutes ago - 4 days left to answer. Additional Details i also sent yahoo answers an email asking them to delete them and now I can just see more answers. 6 minutes ago and im just starting to apply for jobs so what should I do?

  • Answer:

    No one is going to check your old Y!A content. Even if you are applying at the C.I.A. Generally, your Y!A content stays forever. But in 2009, Yahoo started a new policy. They will delete an old question or answer that is embarrassing. You have to email [email protected] telling them the exact content (they don't delete the entire account). They don't answer you. They either delete or not. Nothing changes after 90 days.

Well, I can understand your concerns. What is happening is, your real name started showing up because of your Yahoo Pulse profile. It might delete after 90 days, I don't know. Although you probably can not access the account anymore, the Pulse profile was a "loose end". What you want to do now is "bury your name in search" and creating other accounts (especially ones that you can request a "custom URL" [such as Twitter, Digg, Blogger, Wordpress, MySpace, etc]) is one way of "burying" your name. But it does take some time and a little activity on those sites to do so. According to the info on this site: http://onlinereputationedge.com/bury-negative-publicity-with-new-pages-on-the-same-domain ...it is best to create a Yahoo Answers account, with the name you want to bury, and post positive activity on it, and it will bury your old account as if fades with lack of use and the new account will override the old. Since you have the chance to change, I would suggest answering question (positively) in a topic that may relate to your interest of employment (even if it was Fast Food).
