I used to model professionally and I have had countless people steal my images and post them along with my full name on adult sites. The images aren't harmful but the sites and descriptions are. I submitted a removal request yesterday and was wondering how long this usually takes? I am also having this problem.

The Webpage Removal Request Tool has an option that says: "The site owner has modified this page so that it no longer contains the information or image that concerns me." This way, if the webpaster has removed the incorrect information and apologized to you about it, this should (hopefully) expedite Google to remove the OLD copy of the page from the search results. Soemtimes just the description that shows up in the search results can be very harmful. I think that Google aims to avoid being the "content police" and asks you to try and resolve matters with the webmaster. The won't edit stuff out of the index (except for adult spam, signatures) - but if the webmaster has changed the information, they will hurry up and make their search results reflect changes (to the page title, content, description). Hope this answers your question / helps! Shilpa,
