rustyrazorblade.com — I was trying to figure out how to extend my wireless network down a few floors a few days ago, and one of my queries brought me to experts exchange. The question looked useful: Using Linksys WAP54G as Wireless Repeater. This is exactly what I wanted to do. However, once I actually [...]

However, Britannica and New York Times (and for example many scientific journals like ACM) have contracts with Google, they don't use cloaking (note that the cache button is not showed below ACM entries even though they don't use meta to hide it). I doubt that this is the case with EE, because sometimes you can view the whole content cached - that would clearly imply cloaking. Also, pathetic EE (technical forum like any other) is not comparable with NYT or Britannica - unless they show their content for free, they are pretty useless to most people and shouldn't have top positions.

I've been on EE for 8 years now, as a contributing expert, and as an asker of questions. For the last couple of years I have maintained a paid account instead of answering questions to keep expert status. I've asked about 500 questions in the programming topic areas (vb / asp / javascript / c / access / sql server etc) and some hardware kit questions too. In about 75% of cases I've got an excellent response and its saved me many thousands of pounds and helped accellerate business development way beyond expectations. The best topic area is undoubtedly C++ where the experts really know their stuff and you're pretty much guaranteed a working solution within a couple of hours - you can't beat that and its worth every penny/cent.I dislike the direction that EE has gone in, but its such a valuable resource that my business can't afford to stop using it. Its a shame they don't tag onto the MVP scheme and other equivalentsThat said, if you're cheating on google, get excluded for a month - thats the way it is. That will hurt EE more since their default internal search engine is google !!Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

I have submitted my spam report to google. I hope they get banned!

No problem, my dear.

The "Google Search Results Filter" Greasemonkey script (<a class="user" href="http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/6723)">http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/6723)</a> is perfect for this. You can specify your list of "spam" domains, and it takes those out of the results.

How to see experts exchange answers: Visit the site once in firefox. Delete the cookies. Add experts exchage to the block list under exceptions. Pick a topic, then thread, scroll to the bottom and the answers distorted at the top will be shown. <a class="user" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6PLG7jpsJY">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6PLG7jpsJY</a>

You are quite right, which is embarrassing because I work for E.ON (in Germany), but there was nevertheless a domain named powergenitalia.com, belonging to an Italian battery manufacturer.

Typical bait and switch...

Let me guess, you spouted off a dumb answer without testing it, didn't you? Next time you offer "Advice" test it first. You're almost useless enough to have posted to Yahoo Answers instead. Your "tip" doesn't work.

Or, more simply yet, search for a phrase that Google says is on the page.The greyed out area is seen by webcrawlers but hidden from you

experts exchange is lame

Is there another forum of comparable information or no?

Gang,If you use Firefox you can use this plugin and block URL's from Google search results! I found this plugin specifically because I wanted to block experts-exchange from showing up. I HATE experts-exchange! In my opinion they should be banned from Google results because they provide misleading and useless search results unless you want to pay over $100.00 a year.<a class="user" href="http://www.customizegoogle.com/">http://www.customizegoogle.com/</a>Enjoy!

What I hate is that the site used the freely contribution solutions from the community, who were trying to help others, and as soon as they had built a DB of sufficient solutions they locked it from the public for a free.A site that could not have existed without of the kindness of people having skills they did not have and could never have afforded to pay for themselves, and they then turned against those very people once they contributed. I will never support them. I wish someone would create an open-source model of that support site.

Better to use Bytes.com where posting is for free and where a number of old (disappointed) Experts Exchange experts reside.Nic;o)

Won't work for me :/

so agree, i just click on their links by accident so many times, it pisses me off. theres no way that site gets so highly google ranked without cheating.i just got tired and googled up this page..seems other people are tired as well!!
linuxlewisMar 25, 2009
Thanks, it works. Keep scrolling down; answers are at the very bottom. I deleted EE cookie first and added EE to cookie exclusion list, using Firefox, Tools>Options>Privacy-I still hate EE and think they should be banned for spam!!
stalephishSep 7, 2009
actually, you do get different results. IE8 shows no answers and an offer for 30-day trial, where Portable Firefox shows no answers with 7-day trial, and Safari and Chrome shows completely free answers!
