Experts-exchange is indeed an annoying site, but I'm not sure I'd classify it as a content farm. There is actually a lot of information there not found on other sites.
I think you're right that it isn't by definition a content farm. It is most definitely google search result spam though. I've honestly never tried to get past the spammy "sign-up to maybe view the information you thought you'd find" message.
i think there are some unintended consequences with blacklist list-sharing: 1) if google ever starts using this data as a signal in their search algorithm, do you really think demand media is going to give up, or do you think they are going to start moving their content on the 500k+ domains they own, effectively making it impossible to deal with the problem. 2) list-sharing seems to be starting an arms race where spa…
it is missing the following: - osdir.com - markmail.org - www.dennyweb.com
As I wrote on the other thread, markmail is the best site for searching through Apache mailing lists that I've seen. Many of the Apache project websites link to markmail for their archives. Why are people wanting to block it?

It is not different that mail-archive at all. You bashed mail-archive in your comments because it doesn't provide an added value. markmail doesn't provide an added value either.
The value of markmail, for me, is you can search. I'm not bashing the Apache archives, but they are not searchable as far as I know.

? I didn't say anything about mail-archive. I mentioned the official Apache archives ( http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/ ) The value of markmail, for me, is you can search. I'm not bashing the Apache archives, but they are not searchable as far as I know.

user> mail-archive? are you crazy? that site has been around forever & I’ve found more answers there than I can count.
you> What mailing lists are you finding useful on mail-archive that aren’t available elsewhere? Do you ever visit mail-archive directly? I’ve only seen mail-archive clutter up SERP pages, often with the question I have going unanswered. I see no point in duplicating content on Google Groups, only with a significantly worse UI.
The point is, they are all doing the same. mail-archive, osdir, markmail archive mail, place ads next to them. Some provide more features on top but the main idea is archive public content and make money out of it.
You can always use gmane to search apache archives, at least it is ad free.

I have not noticed ads on markmail. I was mostly surprised people are advocating blocking markmail because I've seen it linked to often by the Apache project sites:
http://couchdb.apache.org/community/lists.html http://shindig.apache.org/mail-lists.html
I've also noticed when people refer to an posting on the mailing list, they often use the markmail URL.
So it seemed like it has the blessing of the community.
