"Sites will be blocked only for you, but Google may use everyone's blocking information to improve the ranking of search results overall."
This to me says "If we get enough reports of a site being blocked, we're going to make sure everyone's Google searches will block you."
I think this is great for spam sites, but for legitimate sites (whether you like w3schools or not) I can certainly see this as annoying.
- comex 15y agoWhether or not it's legitimate, the number of people that don't find a site helpful, and block it, is probably correlated with the chance that a random Google searcher won't find it helpful.
