Google SERPS problem - "block all results from this domain - click here".

[Understudy]

Anyone know what can be done about this when it happens to one of your own domains?

On the Google SERPS page, underneath the Title, next to the Description, Google has added "Block all results from this domain?".

I understand that this is a new "feature", aimed at allowing users to filter out results from low quality, pornograhphic or offensive sites.

But the site in question is none of the above - any ideas how to tackle?

Couldn't find anything yet by searching.

Hi,

See for example this case, I searched for "Stanford university" within Google UK and also got this when returning from their Wikipedia page when clicking back to Google: https://skitch.com/beerds/gnx8e/stanford-university-google-search

This is one of many examples where high quality pages/ sites also got this when returning to the search results.More information about this could be found within this blogpost on Googles blog.
So it looks like all Web sites for now will get these extra link to hide them from the  search results for a particular user.

It is also there so users can block a site they just don't want to see anymore. It isn't related to your site specifically but is simply a "feature". There is nothing you can do about it aside from making sure your site isn't something anyone would want to block. If a user choses to block your site, they won't see it anymore. It won't effect what other users see unless several people block your site, then it may cause lower rankings. As far as I know, nobody has determined exactly how man people must block your site for it to effect search results for other users, but Google does claim to use that info.

Thanks for the input guys. On further testing I noticed that it does indeed happen in many cases, always upon returning to the Seach Results after a quick view of the site. Also for blue-chip brand sites. Phew!
