Content Farm Results Removal
Blekko, a search engine that enables users to slash the web, reports that 1 million new spam pages, which may harm users, steal publisher traffic and defraud advertisers, are created every hour. Surf Canyon users now have the ability to remove these same results from Google, Bing and Yahoo!.
Following is the current list of content farm sites, which may change periodically:
- ehow.com
- experts-exchange.com
- naymz.com
- activehotels.com
- robtex.com
- encyclopedia.com
- fixya.com
- chacha.com
- 123people.com

- networkedblogs.com
- buzzillions.com
- shopwiki.com
- wowxos.com
- answerbag.com
- allexperts.com
- freewebs.com
