I stay logged into Google. I would very much like to permanently blacklist sites that I know to be spammy or low quality from showing up in some of the modules like news and search. Any suggestions on how? I know how to do it case by case in search (-site:lame.example.com) but that's not permanent.

EDIT: The solution presented below (Personal Blocklist) does in fact work for search (thanks!) but not for news - anyone?

Update 2022-06: This no longer works and there is no native replacement or Extension/App by Google.

If you use Chrome you can use Personal Blocklist (by Google).

Description

Blocks domains/hosts from appearing in your Google search results.

The personal blocklist extension will transmit to Google the patterns that you choose to block.

This use to be a standard feature on Google that they depreciated. Instead they created this extension.

Maybe use Adblocker, then remove all the preset blacklists, then manually blocking those websites/span ID's?

  • Thanks. I do adblock but that doesn't affect the list of results that G shows for searches nor in news etc. – Ram Mar 25 '14 at 17:57
