I don't get how Pinterest hasn't been removed from existence by Google. There is literally no one who is ever searching for things that wants a Pinterest link, but the incredible persistence of Google in showing me Pinterest is amazing.
Though this kind of goes to the related question: why Google don't allow you to setup your profile to nuke domains from consideration when you search, I do not know - it would completely divorce them from any responsibility for search result manipulation and make everyone happier.
- bane 5y agoThere's a great chrome extension called "unpinterested" that automatically adds -site:pinterest.* to all google queries. It's improved my use of google by an east 20%. It's so bad you'd almost think google has a stake in pinterest at this point.
- wiml 5y agoThey did have exactly that feature for a while, unless I'm dreaming. But they got rid of it.
- dazc 5y agoIIRC, it was canned because it was linked to search performance and was abused on an industrial scale for negative seo. Such a blacklist could be limited to one's personal account though but, I guess, since there is no monetisation benefit for google they don't care to offer it?
