old index: problem: parts of the index were refreshed at a faster rate than others; the main layer would update every couple of weeks and to refresh a layer of the old index, Google would analyze the entire web first. impact: there was a significant delay between when Google found a page and made it available to its users. new index: solution: caffeine, Google's new index will analyze the web in small portions and up…

Hmmm... come to think about it I have been getting quite a lot of results from CodeWeblog.com in my search results. Unfortunately, that site seems to be a link farm and its so useless that I reported it to the Google spam page. Maybe its appearance in the top sites was a result of the Caffeine changes.

Ah! Its not only me who is annoyed by these codeweblog.com results.

Is there a way to remove domains form google results as a preference? I know I can always add "-site:codeweblog.com" But can I save this preference for future search queries?

I reported them as well, but like your report, it doesn't seem to have been acted on.
