How to remove a social media post from Google search

In a brief moment of weakness a couple months ago I made some public comments on a Facebook news post on a bit of a controversial topic. I immediately came to my senses and deleted the comments but Google has picked them up and the cached comments show up at the top of the search results when you Google search my name. My name is unique. My comments aren’t super embarrassing but I’m in the process of going through a background check for a new job and I don’t want my name associated with a controversial topic.

I have tried to no avail to find a way to have the url recrawled by Google to update the search results so that the comments won’t be associated with my name. I posted this a couple of months ago so was hoping it would have dropped off already.

Does anybody have any thoughts on what I can do? I am not a techie so I would need simple instructions. Thanks so much!

HTTP-HTTPS redirects: domain level or each URL?

Googling for answers seems to give conflicting answers here. We have a domain that has been HTTP but some individual URLs have been HTTPS (like form pages). We are about to deploy HTTPS redirect on the server to get everything going to https://www.domain.com . Do we have to go to the effort of a big 301 redirect list of all page-level URLs without Google dropping our earned page rank?

One website, two properties (domains)

I wasn't sure how to frame that title so let me explain; Due to error on my part, I have ended up with, a www.xyz.com , version of my website, and one that's just xyz.com. Now I'm tracking my traffic differently on GSC and GA. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is there anyone with a similar situation? Should I just go on like usual or are there things I need to start doing differently? Kindly advise. submitted by /u/Blessed_Dude_101010 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/87Z2MRA
