February was a busy month for Google, which made 40 changes to the globally renowned search engine. These changes are aimed to improve the systems related to sitelinks, autocomplete, UI elements, indexing, synonyms, SafeSearch, related searches and more. Each little change on a website or search engine has the potential to make a large scale difference over time. From the following changes you can learn how Google is better structuring itself and take away some insider knowledge that you can apply to stay ahead of the ever changing digital curve. 

The concept behind the initiative is to “hide sites to find more of what you want”. It is quite common to do an internet search and get some results that are of no interest to you, using this new feature you can effectively filter these websites out of the search results, therefore having a results page specifically tailored to your wants and needs.

Although anyone that does a Google search will see that there is an option to block a website, the functionality will only work if you are logged into your account.
