disguise yourself as googlebot & axcess sites

04.02.08 by justy

Ever come across a site that you want to check, but get a registration page? Frustrating to say the least! You can click on cached content to view the page directly from googles cache, but if you want to see a different page from the site & want to avoid the registration page, you can disguise yourself googlebot & view the site without having to register. To do this you need Firefox!. So, install the agent switcher extension here. After you install & restart firefox, place Googlebot in the description ->place the following in the user agent field:

Googlebot/2.1 (http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html) you can access the utility by Tools->User Agent Switcher->Googlebot

you are now a googlebot. I have seen forums where they show you how to manually tweak your registry to add the googlebot. If you dont know anything about tweaking your registry, i wouldnt recommend it. You could cause serious damge to your system. I just use the addon.
