So, while we’re waiting for Google to hand-pick and red-flag content farms, is there anything we can do to improve our search results until then? Well, I’m glad you asked. Google Chrome has released a Chrome extension for their Chrome browser that lets users hand-block certain sites from their search results.
Wait a minute. Might we be doing Google’s work for them? Are they going to wait and see what sites we don’t value, and further investigate whether or not they should red-flag them? That’s pretty smart. But here’s one problem. Do I block a site like ehow.com? Maybe. A lot of their content isn’t very good. But some of it is. Do I throw their “how to feed a baby” article out with the “how to prepare bathwater”? (If you got that, well done.)
