How to Block Affiliate Spam Sites from Search
Patrick Bushe · May 1, 2026
For product searches, block affiliate "review" sites you don't trust with uBlacklist as you come across them, and they won't appear in later searches. Adding words like "forum", "reddit" or "long-term review" to a search also tends to surface people who actually own the product. Patrick Bushe's Search Cleaner can't block sites, but its shopping switches hide Google's own product carousels and deals boxes.
