Followup to: Does anybody else here find eHow and Answers.com completely useless? - comphernation - 07-11-2011
As nobody's likely still following the thread http://forums.macresource.com/read.php?1,1134533, I'm posting what I found tonight. Google itself has a page to let you manage blocked sites: http://www.google.com/reviews/t
I don't know whether one must be logged on to access or use this. Easy enough to test for oneself.
Hoping davester and others may find this useful.

Darn right, we are always ready and eager! :biggrin:
As for those sites, eHow is worthless less you pay the author/expert of the article then, perhaps, you will get the real deal.

Yes - I've been using it in Chrome for some time.

Even Wikipedia is better than those sites.

Yes - useless and annoying. Add "Fixya" and about.com to that list.

That's awesome. I remember last year I kept searching for some Flash problems I was having and it kept taking me to an "answers" site like those. I wish i could remember ti now so i could block it.
Edit: aha! bigresource.com...bye bye
