This seems to be becoming a lot more common.
Whenever I search for answers to Go-related questions, a website called "socketloop.com" is always the top search result. Although they have extraordinary SEO when it comes to serving content to Google or Bing crawlers, they don't serve traffic AT ALL to browsers with AdBlock installed.
Really frustrating... that blog site is turning into the "expertsexchange.com" of Go. I would rather just have its links excluded from my search results altogether. The crazy thing is that it's a one-man WordPress-like niche blog, for which I'd be shocked if it drew more than a few hundred bucks A YEAR in ad revenue anyway.

You can. Google offers a personal block list extension. For chrome at least.

You could also disable JavaScript for socketloop. Works fine for me.
Just visited socketloop.com and seems to work fine. Using Focus by Firefox for blocking.
just press escape before it's fully loaded. Works fine with adblock + mublock
