There may be some reasons for you, for example; you can create a category for your del.icio.us or twitter account and automatically post your status to these categories and ,you may want to exclude them on frontpage.

But i would rather do it for seo? How? I create a category and post articles that humans doulnt love but search engines would love to that category. And exclude that category on frontpage. This is simple:

if (have_posts()) {

and

while (have_posts()) {

Drop in the following code:

if (is_home()) {
query_posts('cat=-xxx');
}
xxx is the category number. To exclude more than one category, it is just a matter of listing each category ID in query_posts(), thus:

query_posts('cat=-12,-14,-22');
