This is a very good trick and will be helpful to everyone. I was using this trick since the last 2 years and had completely forgotten about it after starting it. So lemme start from a small tutorial on it.

How do we do it :

It’s damn simple, we become the Google Bot.

What is a Google Bot :

A Google bot is an auto search bot for the leading search engine, Google. You must have surely experienced the following situation. You go to Google and search for something. You get a whole list of the thing you need but for everything but when you click on it you need to register in order to gain access to the content. Worser still, you need to shell out bucks or give your credit card details to access it. But then you are astonished because if a normal person doesn’t get entry to the site, then how is it crawled by Google? Do they shell out money on each site? The answer is no.

Why such privileges to Google :

Google is undoubtedly the most used search engine in the world. Almost all site get their traffic from Google. Hence, they leave a backdoor open so that google bot can crawl it and get the links on it’s search page. But when you click the same link, it identifies that you aren’t the Google Bot and it denies you the free entry which Google gets.

So What Are We Gonna Do :

We are going to try to trick the website that we are the Google Bot so that it allows us inside the premium areaand we can check everything out for free

3. Save it as useragent.reg. After saving, just double click it. It will ask you if you want if you want to continue. Just click Yes. Voila, it is done

4. Restart your PC and you are done.

This doesn’t work in all the sites as well as many forums. But do keep trying your luck and I am sure you will find many as I did. Take Google’s help if you need. Keep your comments flowing in, whether good or bad.

These days everyone is going behind real time search knowing the potential of Twitter and Facebook .

But this interesting article shows that even Google can be used for real time search.

Google web search results can be limited by time frame using the “search options” link on every page.

But the searches can also be limited to results indexed minutes or seconds ago by making a simple change to the
search results page URL.

Time-limited search results pages include a parameter called QDR – perhaps standing for Query Date Range.

We can change the number following the letters qdr and change the timeframe for our search.

METHOD:

By default when we click on “search options” and limit a search to the last day, the qdr appears as “d.”
Change that to “n” and we will be limited to results from the last minute, to “n10″ and we’ll see results discovered in the last 10 minutes – or “s30″ to see results from the last 30 seconds.
