Experts Exchange - How To Get Answers

shoemoney · · 2 min read
Experts Exchange dominates Google for just about everything about "how to" do stuff on Linux/Unix. I am always looking for syntax examples for various Unix and Linux commands to make my life easier but most of the time I need the answer RIGHT NOW and dont have time to go through some signup proccess... wait for confirmation... blah blah blah just show me the damn answer that you showed in Google! So today I was Google'n for the find command on how to remove files older then 7 days so I searched for "linux find files older then 1 day" As you can see its #1 and has the answer I want. So I click on it but then I am hit with this "Welcome Google user" and all the answers are blured out =( BUT!!! They showed me the answer in the result so... they must show it to googlebot right? WHOLA look at the Google cache for the same page (or just click on the cached link). Instant answers without having to sign up ;) BTW: some people might think that since its a free site making you signup is not that big of deal... ehh bullshit. When this site is sold how do you think its measured? Ya by its userbase. User aquisition is key and cloaking for Google seems to be working well for the experts exchange
