Google Removals

Here's a useful tool for any authors out there whose ebooks have been pirated. First, do a Google search of your book title followed by the words 'free download.' Log all offending URLs in a Word document or similar. If you have a Google account (and if not they're very easy to create) log in and go to https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/removals 
You'll then be able to paste in the offending URL with the request that Google remove it from their search index. Result: the pirated copies of your books will no longer show up in a Google search, making life more difficult (and therefore less profitable) for our wonderful pirate chums!
