Experts Exchange Bypass

This is a nifty little hack pointed out to me by mjxg today. How to view premium membership sites like Experts-Exchange for free!

If you think on the problem for a minute, one question comes to mind. How does google index the content on these pages if it can't see it without paying? Well, it CAN see it without paying, and so can you. Simply modify you user-agent to match that of googlebot "Googlebot/2.1 (http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)" and block cookies from being added from the target site. Bingo, you look just like googlebot and can now view Experts-Exchange for free! The link above goes into detail on one method of doing this, there are many other ways (I use an inline proxy to achieve the same goals), but do what works for you.
