Please tell me how to ignore google search and google maps.
- icebraining 9y agoI think seanwilson is saying that the ads are easily ignorable.
- piyush_soni 9y agoBy like ... not using them?
- RandomKid 9y agoBy using duckduckgo and openstreetmap. I've been using both for many years and they are quite good, I would say.
- lloeki 9y agoOn iOS luckily enough I found Apple Maps to have crossed the good enough threshold for most of my purposes and area, except for the occasional live and timetable transit info.
- logicallee 9y agoGoogle search: alight your eye on the first result that is not clearly and distinctly marked "Ad" (you may have to scroll.) For example I did this search since I expected it to be heavily ad-based: http://i.imgur.com/j4ezbjF.png http://i.imgur.com/j4ezbjF.png everything above the fold (visible in my browser) was an ad. I then scrolled down and got to the organic search results: http://i.imgur.com/hlVB36Q.png http://i.imgur.com/hlVB36Q.png Those are not advertisements. There is nothing to ignore. Google is not paid to show me those, and they fight link-spammers every day to attempt to get the best organic results. I find Google's search results ads to be exceedingly easy to ignore. I also find them useful and sometimes click them.
