Google-search – Blocking all about.com websites (*.about.com) from the Google search results

google-searchspam-prevention

I regularly block websites from my Google search results. I've had no trouble with this Google feature, with the notable exception of about.com. This website uses a million subdomains, making it hard to block all of them. Every time an about.com site shows up in my results, I have to manually block it.

I've tried blocking *.about.com, like so:

but it hasn't worked.

Any way I can block [anything].about.com from my search results?

What about

blablabla -site:about.com

If you wanna know more about "Google operators", take a look at http://www.googleguide.com/advanced_operators_reference.html and/or http://www.googleguide.com

I often use this and it can be extremely helpful sometimes!

Edit: You don't need to block [anything].about.com, just about.com because [anything].about.com is a sub domain to about.com. The minus sign is used for negation and "site:".. I think you understand...
