Google: Best Way To Block Search Traffic Is To Disable DNS Resolution
I should start by saying this is super dangerous and you probably should not do this unless you really know what you are doing and why you are doing it.

John added that when you take this approach, disabling DNS resolution, you should see the results in search within a day or so. "It usually takes less than a day to see the results," he wrote.
