Searching Google for the keywords:

You will probably get Pinterest in Google results.

Pinterest will most likely also be in Google Images like:

However, if you don’t want those results showing when you search in Google, you simply add -pinterest.com to the end of your search.

So your new modified search using the example above would be:

wedding dress ideas -pinterest.com

So it’s the minus (-) character sign and domain pinterest.com together with no spaces at the end of your keywords.

That also works to exclude Pinterest from Google image searches.

Image example with the domain exclusion modifier:

Other Countries and TLDs

And remember, Pinterest is in other countries, too. So with that example above, that would exclude only the .com version of the website.

Remember to add the minus sign before the domain with no spaces.

Like this:

wedding dress ideas -pinterest.com -pinterest.dk -pinterest.de
