How to Block Copycat Websites from Google Search
Patrick Bushe · May 1, 2026
When a site copies someone else's work, block it in uBlacklist and it stops appearing in your Google results. To help the original authors more broadly, report the copy through Google's spam report form, and if it's your own work, Google has a separate copyright removal request. Patrick Bushe's Search Cleaner doesn't block sites; it hides Google's AI Overview, ads and widget boxes.
