    Google lets users blacklist sites from search results

    Google is giving users the ability to block sites that annoy them from ever showing up again in their search results, via a new link next to search results.

    The new links will be visible to English users of Google.com starting 10-11 March (IE8+, Chrome 9+, and Firefox 3.5+). The change builds on a recent extension the search giant made for users of its Chrome browsers, and signals that Google is listening to the complaints of users that web results are being polluted by low-value content farms.

    The move comes just a week after Google introduced a big change to its core search algorithm that was intended to promote high quality sites. But many tech watchers were disappointed that the change seemed to benefit Demand Media, one of the net's biggest content factories, while punishing many sites that say they create valuable original and user-generated content.

    I've read about this yesterday. Hopefully a Firefox or Chrome extension developer would make an extension that maintains a list of unwanted result sites, just like what AdBlock does with ads.
