Basically, I do not want yahoo answers appearing with my website in google seach. I want to block yahoo answers.

Example: Someone ask a question about my website called "WEBSITE A"

Outcome: When I search "WEBSITE A" in google. The question some asked with yahoo answers about "WEBSITE A" appears with my site. Please help.

These silly questions people asked can hurt website reputation.

Sadly to say you can't any time some one (website._com) in the search any link foot print will appear with the search that's why it's better at times to link yahoo links to buffer sites to avoid footprints. Just know this every time there's a link from a high pr site you will easily have footprints.

You can't control other sites.

Thanks for the feedback guys..but i found some interesting info..which may block yahoo answers from appearing with your website in google searches..Here it is..would do you think?

Thay say this code blocks yahoo period?

User-agent: *
Disallow: /p/
Disallow: /r/
Disallow: /*?

No, that wont work. You cannot stop Google from indexing other sites, even if they have your URL on them. Think about it-- yahoo answers is simple displaying text. This text happens to be your website URL. How can you stop google from indexing a page of text on a website thats not yours?
