How to Get Off Useless Websites Out of Your Google Search Results

Useless websites appearing on your Google search results can be a real mess sometimes. It is therefore important to block such spam and sites that are irritating you every time you are using Google. This way, you will have them out of your Google search results. It is true that Google has got better in removing trash websites from appearing on the search results but unfortunately some irrelevant sites do slip through the Google filters. In order to prevent such sites from appearing on your Google results, you need to do the following to combat them easily once and for all.

How to Get Off Useless Websites

Browser-Level Blocking

The presence of a Google chrome add-on (Personal Blocklist) helps you in blocking the entire web domain from showing on the Google search results in case you think it is not relevant to your search. By just clicking on the block link, you get the irrelevant pages off your search results as all the pages to that site will be hidden completely from yourGoogle search results. This is a smart way for clients to filter all spam content and useless websites from slipping into their Google search results.
The only limitation with this method is that it only works with Google Chrome Browser. In case you are using Firefox or your phone, then you will be unlucky as the sites will still pop up.

Block Sites Per Google Account

You can also block spam websites, each URL at a time using the web dashboardoffered by Google. A number of websites can be added to this dashboard and get blocked from sneaking into your Google search results. Pages from sites added to thedashboard will therefore not be shown in the Google search results. The only problem with this method is that it only works when signed in with your Google account.

Google Search Using the Global Filter

Another advanced way of getting rid of spam websites from your Google search resultsis by using Google’s Custom search (CSE) to create a global filter for your Google search results. The advantage with this is that it works with all browsers including your mobile phones. CSE is a customized Google intended to search on a smaller set of websites rather than the entire internet. It is also true that you can research the entire internet except specific websites that do not interest you.
You can short list all the sites that you intend to block and create a custom search engine that will exclude the selected sites while showing results. This ay you will be able to keep of all the useless sites off your Google search results. This means that you can browse through your favorite sites only by customizing Google search engine. High quality sites can therefore receive the highest credit with this method as you may have them as the prevalent sites you intend to browse through. This means better results and exclusion of spam websites that are irrelevant in the search results.
