Need Expert Exchange Free, Fast & w/o Login or Password?
Use this trick to reverse their SEO hack and get your expert answers free.

Normally, I would not give out the process for freely subverting a companies password security system. However, experts exchange is highly annoying teasing you with answers in search results, then wasting your time when you land upon their page. They do this all by using hacks that should have them banned from search engines. If you work in technology you will love this trick.
Experts-Exchange practices black hat SEO tricks to annoy you. Now you get to use their own tricks against them to get the answers you need now, no logins, no accounts, no passwords, just some new Mad Ninja Skills.
Ever wonder why you hate Experts Exchange so much? You search some random technical question and BAM! there they are like the Wikipedia of strange IT questions. You click, then you sink realizing you've come to the answer barren boneyard of locked accounts and passwords. Making matters worse, no way can you get an approval past the financial guys to buy an account called "Experts Exchange" when you are suppose to be the expert.
How do they get up there in the Google results anyhow? Isn't Google's job to help me find relevant information I can use right now, no passwords needed? They are using a technique banned by Google and yet somehow still have ranking. They are showing you the user one page and the Google SEO bot a different page (hint: the one with the freaking answers!). In the long run, this is good for us, because we will be exploiting their blackhat technique to get what we need; the answers, now, fast and free.

Ninja Steps for Accessing Experts Exchange for Free
- 1) Use Ninja Skills:
Hide in Googlebot sheeps clothing. - 2) Hide Faster:
Install this Firefox Extension Double Secret User Agent Switcher - 3) Become Like Night:
Go to "Tools" -> "User Agent Switcher" -> "Search Robots" -> "GoogleBot 2.1" - 4) Infiltrate Enemy Lines:
Go to Experts Exchange and find an interesting question. - 5) Slip Through Backdoor:
Scroll to the bottom of the page and find the solutions.
The extension cloaks your browser to tell their servers that you are a Googlebot looking for their content. They want these spiders to see the solutions so that they will rank higher in the search engines. So instead of hiding them from you so you have to sign up for their account and get a login and password, they now freely hand you the keys to the castle cloaked in your double secret ninja user agent outfit.
Yes, the link I gave them does give them free SEO keyword juice, but I figured even ninjas have to have hearts at times. Hopefully, one day, expert exchange will come up with a fair business model not based upon tricking Google and annoying visitors.

Or just point 5: Scroll to the bottom of the page and find the solutions.If there is an answer it is down past the pay-wall (I agree it is annoying - but I am expert and never see it)
