Visit any forum or website to find something useful and they will ask you to register. Every time a forum asks me to register, I simply close the site. You would probably do the same. But this time, lets face it.

Before I begin, you should know how things work. All websites and forums will block unregistered users, but they won’t block Google Bot. What we will do is to switch our User Agent to that of Google Bot and freely browse any website or forum without registering.

Step 1

First grab the add-on for Firefox called "user agent switcher" Here and install it. Now go to Tools > User Agent Switcher > Options and then again to Options.


Step 2

Select User Agent from the left sidebar and click Add. Now in the description field type
Code
crawl-66-249-66-1.googlebot.com


and in user agent field type:
Code
Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)



Step 3
Select Google Bot as your User Script by going to Tools > User Agent Switcher



Pros & Cons
- You can visit any site without registering.
- This does not work in hidden section.
- This does not mean your site will be indexed (if you visit your site with googlebot)
- Your IP is still the same.

----

Good thing: You cannot view hidden sections on our site.
Bad thing: You cannot do to others either lol.

Most sites need you to register. However, if an section is hidden, and only meant to view by select number of people or a group else, then no you will not. However, if they choose the option, to allow Google Bot to index hidden forums, then yes. But most of the time, default option is set to no.

You can also do it manually. I will post it if you want to learn manually.

Well then, it is a good thing that googlebot does not have access to our members only areas. :D

What you mean? Lol? It allows you to view members only areas without registering. So yes it does. What it doesn't have access too is hidden section.
