Does google have a blacklist feature? Can I exclude all links from a certain domain within my google prefs? This needs to be a feature.

I came across 3 or 4 experts-exchange pages today when looking to fix a small apache issue.

Customize Google offers great filtering for Firefox users:

http://customizegoogle.com/

From the front page: "Filter spammy websites from search results"

exactly what I do with Tek-Tips...

add "-site:expertsexchange.com" in your google query to exclude results from that site ..
Also, it's not hard to make a keyword search that adds that automatically. On firefox, left-click the google search box/"Add a keyword for this search", save it with the keyword "g" somewhere. Then look for it in your bookmarks menu, right-click/properties and edit the query string until it fits your tastes. (The %s will get replaced with your search terms.) Mine is like 200 chars long.

After that, you can use g <something> in the address bar to search for something with a sane query.

pro search tip :D Hopefully search will remember we dislike particular sites and exclude them in personalized future releases.
