First, there's the problem of reappearing in six months but more importantly it's Google only. A huge number of searches are non-Google, especially outside the USA, meaning this is only a partial solution. With such a large proportion of bots ignoring robots.txt, for me .htaccess is the only reliable answer. Edit: Just realised your title is "Getting URLs out Google". OK, forget what I said! (although I still think .htaccess is the best way to go...) A good, in-depth article with helpful video, but I disagree that the Google removal tool is a recommended method.

I worked on a site that committed 10 of the mistakes on your list (the first nine and then the last one). We did eventually fix most of it, but I'm wondering if that was a record or something. You ever seen a site that was guilty of more than 10 of those items all at once? Thanks Sebastian - another good (and useful!) post.
