Google Prefs
Posted by Dave Minor Thu, 23 Mar 2006 17:29:38 GMT
I want preferences for Google. Specifically, I want google to remember that there are certain sites that I don’t want to see results from.
When searching for answers to technical questions, quite often (probably a majority of the time), I get a top 3 hit from experts-exchange.com (which I won’t link to so as not to increase their page rank). This is a service which allows google to index their questions, but the answers require a subscription. I have no interest in paying for an answer that a) I’m not sure will solve my problem and b) is probably available for free at the next search result.
I can always skip and not follow the result, but I don’t make a habit of scanning the URL of the result when I am glancing at the synopsis of the page. I typically see that it is a good fit in context and click through.
If only I could just ignore certain domains on a global basis….
