- bombolo 4y agoI wish google had a feature to permanently ban domains from search results.
- prolyxis 4y agoThere are browser add-ons that can do this (for example, uBlacklist).
- vorpalhex 4y agoKagi has that feature.
- kdot 4y agoThey had a personal block list at one point... but removed it.
- lazyeye 4y agoThere is a chrome addon called uBlacklist that auto-hides domains (configurable) in the google search results.
- vouaobrasil 4y agoWhy not just create your own search box and put -site:domain.xyz in the query? Maybe there is a length limit but at least you can ban some
- vborovikov 4y agothis list is really helpful https://github.com/quenhus/uBlock-Origin-dev-filter https://github.com/quenhus/uBlock-Origin-dev-filter
- _cs2017_ 4y ago> because they drive ad impressions. Could you explain why? If Google replaces SEO trash with decent results, the ads they will show on the Search page will remain unchanged. How would the impressions suffer? Or rather, since Google charges per click not per impression for search ads, how would ad clicks suffer? In fact, I thought low-quality organic search results are purely a negative for Google profits, since users (over a very long run) move their search elsewhere (Tiktok, Reddit, etc.).
- fleddr 4y agoIt's about the ads on the SEO trash pages. Those pages are typically loaded with ads which increases the likelihood you click on them.
