Can I block eHow pages from appearing in my Google search results?

When you're searching for something, why not just add -ehow to every search? That'll remove any page from ehow from the results.

-site:ehow.com

How about trying out a different search engine? The new http://blekko.com/ omits content/link farm content from its results by default. For a general overview, see http://searchengineland.com/blekko-the-slashtag-search-engine-goes-live-54447.

OptimizeGoogle is great! I hacked an existing greasemonkey script to remove certain domains (I'm looking at you, eHow), for posterity: // ==UserScript==// @name Google hated domains remover// @namespace http://www.google.com// @description Removes results for any page from google which is listed in banned// @include http://www.google.*/search*// @include http://*.google.*/search*// ==/UserScript==// Hacked from arantius' "Google about.com remover"// http://www.arantius.com/misc/greasemonkey/var banned = [ "roseindia.net", //"experts-exchange.com", "weask.us", "ehow.com", "efreedom.com", "6api.com", "kods.net", "questionhub.com", "expert.tc", ];var str = '';for(var i=0; i<banned.length; i++) { if(i != 0) { str = str + ' | '; } str = str + '//a[contains(@href, "' + banned[i] + '")]/..';}var results=document.evaluate(str, document, null, XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE, null);for (var result=null, i=0; result=results.snapshotItem(i); i++) { result.parentNode.parentNode.style.display='none';}

Yep, it works.

I used http://www.google.com/cse/ to accomplish this at work (in that case, to filter out useless results form a pay site).

Thanks for the suggestions, MeFites. I'm aware of the -ehow option, but would prefer not to have to put it in every search. I'll check out Google Custom Search and OptimizeGoogle.
