I would like to know how to block messages I enter from showing up on search engines, such as Google.
Thanks.

If you mean board messages posted on this site, then you cannot.
The plus side is that others can find your postings.

Why?

Your profile name may be the problem. There is a lack of other "Deasum1" names on the web, so yours is coming up repeatedly. (I just did a quick search in Google.)
It's like my one, "Flattybasher9". A search in Google throws up a page of references, but if I search for "Malky" I am lost in the multitude of more famous ones.
You should perhaps think of changing your profile name in the many sites that you are registered with, to a more common name. You will then become a single leaf in a forest of trees.

It's not the profile name that comes up in Google. If you have put a request on here for help finding someone, say John Smith, then everyone who ever searches for John Smith on Google will eventually find a link to the Rootschat thread. Obviously if you ask for help searching for someone with a very rare name, then your request will probably show up on the first page of a Google search.
