My dreams have been answered! Google has released a blacklist extension for Chrome that allows you to blacklist domains and have them filtered from your search results (hattip: @pmlozeau). They've added a "block" link to their search results page to make it easy for select a site to blacklist. Google will also be aggregating all our blacklists and working the data into their search results, hopefully to identify and filter out these link farms from everyone's search results.
Of course, now the race is on for people to try to use this to game search results, knocking their competitors and anyone they don't like or agree with down results page. (I'm confident that Google has planned for this inevitable abuse of this very useful extension.)
Blacklist away!

I started by searching for Maya Indians and blocking the Crystallinks site, which is written by a psychic, but has been around so long that it's always in the top 10 results. I felt great joy while I did that.
ReplyDeleteI just blocked experts-exchange and have to admit that I did feel quite gleeful about that. Payback time.
