I found out about this amazing browser plugin via Chris Pirillo. His pitch for it completely sold me on it:

I don’t care who you are - you need this free plugin. In FireFox or IE, you’ll finally know what you’re walking into. For example, if you did a search for ”gnome” on your favorite search engine with SiteAdvisor installed, you’d see a set of results with colored checkmark images next to ‘em. These things will tell you everything you ever wanted to know about an unknown site. Hover over a spidered site, and it’ll tell you how many pop-ups it serves, how many links to other “green” (good) sites, how many emails per week it sends, how many “green” downloads it points to, etc. Click the image for even more information.

It makes googling a lot easier… Now when I construct a poor search phrase and get garbage results, I can visually filter out the sites I don’t want to even check immediately.
