Many have made this observation, but I wish there was a way to blacklist sites from my search results.
I literally never want to see results from Quora, ExpertsExchange and a bunch of other grotty spam dens with low quality user generated content.
I don't get why Google is not doing this. If I could block these sites, I'd get much more value out of Google, and it would be sticky value - because over the years I would have added hundreds of sites to that list, and I wouldn't want to transfer that over to some other search engine.
Some nice extras would include:
- blocking sites for e.g. 12 months only
- sharing black lists
- being able to search without the blacklist applying
- GloriousKoji 6y agoThere's plenty of browser extensions and user scripts that will do this.
- whywhywhywhy 6y agoSame deal with pintrest too, it spammed Google Image results so badly and there was no way to actually get to the source of the image without signing up for an account at one point. Think they might have taken action because it's not been as bad lately and the results haven't been as spammed but it rendered image search close to unusable for almost a year. Really think Google should invest more in being able to trace data back to it's source. Pintrest is all just data scraped from elsewhere, point me to where it's scraping from now the 400px wide image from Pintrests cache.
