Google Includes A Block Button To Hide Unwanted Sites

Google is quickly unveiling many ways to “clean up” the world of search. Just today they announced a new “block” feature to hide sites in your future search 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. 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.”

The internet scene is changing rather quickly. New products, diminishing of current services & and the war-on-search.

What are your thoughts? Are these changes pleasant? Or are they a slow demise?

What does it mean, ‘when you click a result and then return to Google’? Search results linking to stupid and worse-than-useless sites are the bane of my life, and I would love to take advantage of such a feature, but have not so far spotted the slightest scrap of evidence of its existence.
