Google NEW Intro Feature to Block Sites From Search Results

Google has introduces a new option in search results to “Block all example.com Results”. You’ve probably had the experience where you’ve clicked a result and it wasn’t quite what you were looking for. Many times you’ll head right back to Google. Perhaps the result just wasn’t quite right, but sometimes you may dislike the site in general, whether it’s offensive, pornographic or of generally low quality. But now you can blog any site from showing in your search results.

For times like these, you’ll start seeing a new option to block particular domains from your future search results. Now when you click a result and then return to Google, you’ll find a new link next to “Cached” that reads “Block all example.com results.”

You need to logged in your Google account and it will remember the sites you have blocked. The next time you search they won’t appear in any of your search result. You also temporarily block without a login but it'll not remember them for next time. Google will no longer show those sites in search results in future but still tell you how many sites got blocked from your search. You'll also see the options to manage blocked sites to enable them again. The next time you’re searching and a blocked page would have appeared, you’ll see a message telling you results have been blocked, making it easy to manage your personal list of blocked sites. This message will appear at the top or bottom of the results page depending on the relevance of the blocked pages.
You can see a list of your blocked sites in a new settings page, which you can access by visiting your Search Settings or clicking on the “Manage blocked sites” link that appears when you block a domain. On the settings page you can find details about the sites you’ve blocked, block new sites, or unblock sites if you’ve changed your mind.


According to Official Google Blog, "In addition, while we’re not currently using the domains people block as a signal in ranking, we’ll look at the data and see whether it would be useful as we continue to evaluate and improve our search results in the future."


The new feature is rolling out today and tomorrow on google.com in English for people using Chrome 9+, IE8+ and Firefox 3.5+, and we’ll be expanding to new regions, languages and browsers soon. 


Last month Google also introduced a Chrome browser extension that allowed you to block sites from search results. This extension named Personal Blocklist was very popular but now user can block site without any need of such extension.
