Forum scraping sites taking over my search results
I do code solution searches all the time on Google and I've started hitting some really worthless sites that just scrap content from other sites and put it back up with AdSense. Is there any way I can permanently exclude sites from my searching? Are these sites breaking any actual rules I can report them for?

http://www.bigresource.com/
- nearestneighbor 16y agoSure. Add "-site:www.thedevsea.com -site:www.bigresource.com" to your search query.
- growt 16y agoI noticed the same thing. Maybe its just a couple of days till googles webspam team catches on, but it's annoying none the less :(
- sosuke 16y agodevsea was a new one for me, bigresource has been doing this for a while now and they just started framing all outbound links
- percept 16y agoYeah I've been seeing this too recently, mostly "codeweblog" results. I thought Stack Overflow was doing a pretty good job of burying these sites.
- blurry 16y agoYou can permanently include and exclude sites with Google Custom Search (http://www.google.com/cse/ http://www.google.com/cse/). I added mine to my iGoogle page so I do all my searches from there instead of google.com. Currently, I blacklist: answers.yahoo.com slideshare.net scribd.com bigresource.com experts-exchange.com
