Google has launched a feature called Preferred Sources, which allows users to customize search results by selecting specific media outlets. You can now add Foro3D.com as a reference for quick access to news, analysis, and guides for PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo. The process is simple: go to the official Google link and check the box with the tick icon.
How the personalization algorithm works 🧠
The technical implementation of Preferred Sources modifies the ranking algorithm in search results. When you activate Foro3D.com as a preferred source, the system prioritizes its articles in the SERPs for queries related to video games. This does not block other media outlets, but rather increases the visibility of selected content. Google uses an authentication token system to verify the user's choice, storing the preference in their account without the need for additional extensions.
Goodbye to wasting 20 minutes searching for the news ⏱️
Finally, Google understands that we don't want to read mobile game reviews when searching for PC news. Now, with a simple tick, you can skip results from sites that confuse analysis with advertorials. However, don't expect the feature to magically remove articles from random lists of 10 games you didn't know existed. For that, we'll have to wait for the next technological miracle.
