Why does Pinterest and Quora come up so much in google search results?

912 views

It drives me absolutely bonkers when I click on an image in my google search, thinking it will take me to the relevant page where said image was posted, but really I just get a Pinterest page which I neither have nor want an account for. As for Quora, in theory I wouldn’t mind having a question / answer site pop up as a result but it’s nearly impossible to see the question with the answers, there’s always a dozen other random questions on the same page and it drives me insane!

Because Pinterest and Quora are very popular sites for images to be posted on so are usually at the top of the “we found the image you asked for” list. Google doesn’t filter image search results (from legal and non-adult) pages, especially not based on your preferences unless you tell it to in your search terms (or maybe settings)
