Google ranking better bad sites

    Hi,

    This is becoming annoying. In many search results Google is ranking better those sh*t download sites that don't even have what I want.

    For example, I searched for a model. I put her name and the site she is associated with. Like: "model site". The first link was for her profile on that site, not bad. But all the other links on the first, second, third... pages were to download sites like gigabitwarez, limetorrents, rapiddigger... The official website of this person does not even appear nor her twitter or facebook.

    If I put "First_name last_name site", that link to her profile does not appear and the first page is full of download sites.

    The worse is that these pages don't even have anything about what I was looking for. The pages, somehow, are over populated with the term I searched and right on the top of the page have always that "High Speed Downloads" box that takes you to some shady paid site. Google also show some links that are actually a search results inside that site with the same term I searched on Google. Completely useless results!

    First question... is there any way to exclude these sites from the results I get? I mean, without having to use the "-" operator every time I make a search.

    Second question... Removing from my results will only help me. Is there any way to remove/report these sites to Google? These sites are very well ranked on Google and taking place of better results.

    Just out of curiosity... this does not happen on Yahoo and Bing. And it is not a spyware for sure.

    at the Google SERP, click "Give us feedback" link at the bottom of the page, then tell Google what you think about the result page

    i think those download sites use some tricks or something. if you do click on them, you'll not get what you're looking for, instead you'll get their search result. it also appears in some shady blogs

    Check how many backlinks the domain has and the PR of the domain.
