Gain Access To Pay Sites For Free

If you’ve ever come across a site where you have to pay, register, or do both but didn’t want to theres a nifty site called BugMeNot that has an archive of user accounts which can be pretty handy. But if you can’t find login details for a particular site such as a membership required forum then there is another way. This hack is most efficient when you find a Google search result that requires membership.

This hack will require the Firefox browser and an add-on called User Agent Switcher.

If you don’t already have Firefox then d/l it before installing the add-on.

1. After you’ve got the User Agent Switcher add-on installed and ready to go click on Tools > User Agent Switcher > Options.
2. Now click on User Agents on the left hand pane and then select Add.
3. It should bring up a pop-up window with a form. For Description type something like Google Bot.
4. And under the User Agent field copy and paste: Googlebot/2.1 (http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)
5. Hit OK
6. Now if you go to Tools > User Agent Switcher you should see Google Bot as an option. Click on it.
7. Go surf to the pay/registration required site and see if you can get access.
