The newest Experts exchange trick:

When registering as an expert you’ll need to answer at least 10 Q’s before getting access to the answers posted…..

Who’s here the big $$’s hunter ?

err much easier method: there is three sign up options on expert exchange, one is the normal payment one, the second one is to sign up as a expert, here you dont have to pay, but you have to build an reputation by answering questions.. and the third and almost unknown one: http://www.experts-exchange.com/jsp/registerExpert.jsp
this one is free and doesn’t require anything at all.. you get a free account, login and you can use the site as a premium member ;)

edit: it seems that they have replaced the second behind the scenes link with the registration of the expert registration.. you this is the real link: http://www.experts-exchange.com/registerFree2.jsp it’s probably a country block, so you might wanna check out proxies to see if it still works.. i registered myself through this method ages ago.. that without paying a penny :)

Because they would get penalized by Google if they would display all of the content to Googlebot and only part of it to the visitors.

Not if they see the answer at the bottom of the page! What I was getting at is why do they display the answers? It would be easy to hide them.

David I suspect they want to increase (paid) signups this way. Many users will pay to read the solution to their computer problem, won’t they?

Yeah, this has been around for a long time. But why do they do it? Do they not want people to sign up for their forums? Am I missing some SEO/scam trick they’re doing?

I use this way:

A search on google using:

site:www.experts-exchange.com what ever you want

And i open the cached link of the post i interested.

I’ve tried it.
It made me smile after. Very clever trick from expert exchange. Only few users will scroll down that far. But now, the trick is exposed. We, unregistered users, will have a chance to view some answers now. Thanks.

You may want to take a look at http://stackoverflow.com/
When I found this page I forgot about experts exchange, because it provides same useful information, but without ad-junk and payments.

I’ve been doing this for years, I can’t believe people didn’t know about this.

It is very old trick, I’ve been using this form very long time.

I use the greasemonkey script “Expert exchange filter”:

it gets rid of all the junk between question and answer!

Crap. I wish you hadn’t posted this. Every earlier method of seeing their answers (like the google cache trick), once published in blogs has been “fixed” (removed). I really hope they don’t remove this because I’ve found several good answers from their site. Having to pay for what amounts to a question and answer forum is stupid.

Take a look at this greasemonkey script to remove all the junk from experts exchange and easy access to answers: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/8614

It makes experts exchange actually useful.

Most of the ones I’ve come across, at least recently you can just go to the bottom of the page where the answers are located.

I know I used to have to view them through the Google Cache, but not in the last six months or so.

Good tip. I use Google’s page ranking system to automatically delete Expert Exchange results. There is no way I would sign up to view their answers.
