No kidding. If they displayed an answer or two I might have even considered joining up. When EE was prevalent in Google Search results, it would always make me upset when one of the results looked promising and then I realized I had clicked an EE link. StackOverflow and its success should be a lesson to EE.
- philfreo 16y agoscroll down past all the fake answers, the real answers are shown at the bottom
- alextingle 16y agoJust scroll to the bottom. The answers ARE there.
- quattrofan 16y agoUnfortunately either my scroll wheel breaks or I get RSI in my index finger long before I reach the bottom..
- vacri 16y agoHit the 'End' key! :)
- mkr-hn 16y agoMiddle click scroll is one of the greatest inventions. Some might say the printing press or the wheel, but those pale in comparison.
- StavrosK 16y agoOr the "End" key.
- mkr-hn 16y agoThe end key goes too far for scanning. If I want to quickly scan for something, page down and end are too abrupt. With middle click scrolling I can go as quickly or slowly as I need to. Of course, the only time I use middle click on EE is to close the tab if I open it by mistake. :)
- StavrosK 16y agoOh, yes, I meant specifically for EE, the end key works great there.
- bennysaurus 16y agoOnly when you directly link from Google. If you try to search anything on the site itself? It tries to con you into signing up.
- dansingerman 16y agoIt's easy to find the link via google: search for 'site:experts-exchange.com "<title of question>"'
- tjogin 16y agoThat's not easy.
- jijoy 16y agoYou need an automated mouse wheel to scroll till bottom passing all those ads .
- MasterScrat 16y agoSure, but I'd expect the top results to be BOTH pertinent and user-friendly.
- GrandMasterBirt 16y agoThe reason is super simple: Google demanded that if you index content on a page, that content must be freely accessible. You can't index what you don't show. EE made the hack to the layout. It was not always like that. I remember searching google help for ways to block domains (ee) from their results. Apparently that was the only reason anyone wanted to block domains :P
