Specifically, I want google to remember that there are certain sites that I don&#8217;t want to see results from.</p> <p>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&#8217;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&#8217;m not sure will solve my problem and b) is probably available for free at the next search result.</p> <p>I can always skip and not follow the result, but I don&#8217;t make a habit of scanning the <span class="caps">URL</span> 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.</p> <p>If only I could just ignore certain domains on a global basis&#8230;.</p> Thu, 23 Mar 2006 11:29:38 -0600 urn:uuid:08f5cd4e-ba6f-41ea-bf9e-7d3dd120fdc9 Dave Minor http://www.dminor.com/blog/articles/2006/03/23/google-prefs Internet Hey!
