Do you mind sharing the URL? When did it get switched to 400? I can submit this to the team, I just need more details.

I too am having a very similar problem. We have an old URL showing in the SERP and we no longer own the domain so we are unable to use a 301 redirect. Is it possible to submit the invalid URL for removal from the index? You can contact me directly at lindz_dj AT yahoo DOT com.Tuesday, February 26, 2008 6:39 PM

I have a problem. I'm an author and I've recently found some of my work republished on another site. They've agreed to take it down, but I need to have the links to *my* work on their site removed from both the search results and your cache. Can someone tell me how I can go about that or do I need to have my lawyer send a nasty-gram? I'd really rather fill out a web form than to pay my lawyer to send out another letter.
TIA,

I don't honestly think you can force any search engine to remove links to a 'competitor' (or cache of any page) even if you claim to be the original author. There is duplicated content all over the internet, it's up to the search engines to decide what to include and what to remove. I had similar issues with my own content too in the past, you can only try to solve such matters directly with the person copying your content.
