Now users can block certain websites from their Google search results

Google in its effort to remove unwanted pages from your search results has ushered in a new update to its search engine.

Now users will have the choice to block a page permanently from their search results. When people click on search results, they many-a-times find the page of no use and it contains irrelevant matter not related to their search, now users will have the choice to block such pages from their results page there after.

This move comes as another hit to 'content farms' which Google has been trying to remove from their search results.

When you visit a link on the results page and come back to the results page, there will be a small option next to the cached option saying 'block all xyz.com results'.

However it is still not clear as to what effect this will have on a website's Google Page Rank. Meanwhile the folks at Google have said that they may consider this as an option after seeing the data that's generated after some time.

Currently this new feature has been rolled out only on google.com in English people using Chrome 9+, IE8+ and Firefox 3.5+.
