Google brings in ‘New Chrome Extension’ which block sites from Google web search results
Google have been exploring various algorithms to detect ‘Content farms’ (low quality content sites). For the same they consider users’ feedback as one of the signals and introduces experimental Chrome extension as a privilege for the users to block sites from their web search results. If installed, the extension will send the blocked site information to Google and Google will conduct a study to consider that as a potential ranking signal for their search results. You could download the extension (‘Personal Blocklist extension’) and start blocking sites that carry low quality content.
When you block a site with the extension, you won’t see results from that domain again in your Google search results.
You can always revoke a blocked site at the bottom of the search results, so it’s easy to undo blocks:
You can also edit your list of blocked sites by clicking on the extension’s icon in the top right of the Chrome window.
