Good info to know, but the term hack must have been cheapened somewhere along the way.

The suck is that Experts Exchange was free to see the answers from the start and then someone bought them out and suddenly, just when you try and view the answer, whammo, sorry, you must purchase a membership to see this. And its right, Google gets clogged with these hits that don't actually solve your problems.

Yeah that place is tres annoying when you are after fast tech help. I see that there is a move afoot to get them de-listed from Google.

You could also become Googlebot so the site gives you access like the GoogleBot crawler sees it.

Programs like WebWasher allow you to set your browser identification string so that you could use this trick on browsers other than IE and not have to tamper with the registry.

If you use Greasemonkey you can just remove EE from your Google results entirely with this script.

Usenet is better for the topics that EE covers anyway.

I thought I'd just chime in and say you could also click the Cached link in Google's search results and also see the answers. Works in all browsers and you don't have to go messing around with your settings.

this is sooo bad. I mean, letting crawlers in but not users? If I were the search engine, I'd ban this kind of behaviour on sight.

did they, as of now?
