Well, this is the official answer of why EE is not excluded. "Can Experts Exchange be excluded from search results?, May 19, 2009 It it possible to exclude Experts Exchange from search results?, Why are they ranked so high with such a spammy interface? Joshua Starr, IN Answer by Matt Cutts: ... We aren't going to remove Experts Exchange because they don't violate our quality guidelines or at least they currently don't and that they don't cloak. Some people think that they do cloak, but if you're going to look at the cache page... the content is there. So, it's not as if they're showing different content to Googlebot than they are to users... However if you use Search Wiki, you can remove Experts Exchange from individual queries..." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9T6LNMvpvw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9T6LNMvpvw

Sadly Google seems to have dumped SearchWiki. I noticed last week that the "X" button (which removed a particular page from the resultset) is no longer there. You can only upvote, not downvote ... which is stupid. I used the "X"-to-remove far more (generally to remove spammy SEO garbage) than I used the upvote box. Unless it was being gamed by the SEO crowd, I can't understand why Google killed that feature ... it was the best thing they'd added to the core Web Search in a long time, and was a big step towards a sort of Customized Search which I've always thought could be Google's killer app. With all the information they have about accountholders, it would make sense to customize results depending on who's searching. For some reason they seem to be opposed to per-user customization of results, though.
