digip Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Someone figured out how to stop them from showing up in gmail by using keywords at the end of their emails. I noticed this method on lifehacker doesn't always work in the search engine itself though. http://lifehacker.com/5330642/massacre-gma...me-tragic-words So after thinking about how google works, I remembered that you can use a negative, or minus sign to remove things from the resultes, like -htm -html -pdf, etc. If you add the phrase "-sponsored" without quotes at the end of any search, it removes the ads from the page. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicatronTg Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Interesting, but all it did for me was remove all but one sponsored link :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't seem to work in the news section though. -links also works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicatronTg Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Try Googling games -links or games -sponsored I always test search hacks with general searches, not just specific ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try this one: games massacre Niothings perfect, but it works most of the time, for me anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
