How do I keep content farms like Fixya from showing up on my search results on Google? This spam is getting annoying!

One site that came as a result of google search appeared to be fraudulent, but the following Amazon site appers to be legitimate. (I am not posting the fraudulent site to avoid inspiring more.)

Turn SafeSearch on or off

1. Visit the Search Settings page at www.google.com/preferences.
2. In the "SafeSearch filters" section:
   • Turn on SafeSearch by checking the box beside "Filter explicit results." Turning SafeSearch will filter ******** explicit video and images from Google Search result pages, as well as results that might link to explicit content.
   
   
   • Turn off SafeSearch by leaving the box unchecked. With SafeSearch off, we'll provide the most relevant results for your search and may include explicit content when you search for it.
3. Click the Save button at the bottom of the page.

i think google has own firewall that can blocked the spam content
the other way is install antivirus that can diagnose that at google search is spam or no
at my experience some antivirus like Mc-Afee, AVG and Kaspersky antivirus can do that
just install and you will safe search at google
i hope this helpful
thank you for using fixya

Use the minus sign in a google search, as described here:

For example, if I'm searching for a printer I would type in google:

ricoh printer -fixya

and that will exclude anything with reference to the crappy fixya site.

Hello,

Fixya is not just a site, it is a company. It is a company that takes the idea of providing a service (some free and some for money) and having people that are knowlegeable and responsible enough to provide solutions. There must be a way of tracking who provides solutions and if they are quality solutions. If there were no requirements and Fixya just allowed anyone to post solutions, there would be so much spam on this site it would be worthless.

Why not sign up? You won't get rich, but Most don't do it for the $$$ but just to help others out.

Thanks for asking. Oh, and take a moment to rate this solution.

What OS are you running.. It could be your firewall.. either in your router or in you software.
