Manufacturer description and a buy now button is NOT a review

I wish bodily harm on the creators of these sites that appends “review” on all thier crappy product page titles and spams google with it. Everytime I do some reasearch before buying something I have to wade through endless amounts of pages making it a pain in the ass to find some honest non-bought reviews from real people.

It only hurts them, I have crafted a simple google shortcut that filters out any site with the words “customer” “shop” “shopping” “store” etc… in the URL and use that exclusively now, so I never ever see these sites.

Here’s the search string to enter in google:

keywords here -cheap -price -buy -prices -shop -shopping -compare -inurl:shop -inurl:shopping -inurl:customer -inurl:compare -inurl:shipping -inurl:store

This cleans the search results allmost completely of crappy shopping sites that sticks fake keywords in thier product pages. If you use Opera you can add this as a default search in the seaching dropdown by going to preferences and entering this string:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=opera&rls=en&hs=1Xh&q=%s -cheap -price -buy -prices -shop -shopping -compare -inurl:shop -inurl:shopping -inurl:customer -inurl:compare -inurl:shipping&btnG=Search

You can also enter this string into the address bar of your browser

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=opera&rls=en&hs=1Xh&q=keywords -cheap -price -buy -prices -shop -shopping -compare -inurl:shop -inurl:shopping -inurl:customer -inurl:compare -inurl:shipping&btnG=Search

Drag the page as a bookmark and use it when you search, just replace keywords with whatever you search for and leave the rest alone.

It’s just redicoulous that I have to go to these lengths to avoid the garbage.
