How to view Experts-Exchange Solutions [Work Vs. Play]

24th Apr 2008

I assume some of you have used www.experts-exchange.com in the past – but have noticed that for the last year or so they’ve blocked solutions until you pay and log in.

Well today I found out how to get the solutions.... and its freakin unbelievable...

Check this (sample) link
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web_Development/Web_Languages-Standards/ASP/Q_20418040.html

Have a look under the Question and you’ll see that all the answers are only available with the “Premium Service” - now scroll right down past the big block of links, all the way to the bottom – and you’ll see the answers!!!! - I think they did it like this so that search engines will still see the solutions.

Unbelievable!

I love it, I have been going to the bottom of their pages for months and just Googled it to try finding a forum where I could laugh about this. Experts-Exchange is pretty sleezy, every encounter I've had with them in the past has left me feeling uncomfortable with them. This hidden answers at Experts-Exchange is just another example (even if it works to my advantage knowing the "trick").

Great post! I hope everybody can find it. I might as well write some stuff to make sure people searching for solutions find this forum... [free experts-exchange answers, free answers to experts-exchange, view experts-exchange answers for free, how to see answers in experts-exchange]

I had an account on EE. Today it gets expire. Those monsters dont even allow me to visit my own questions and their solutions. Neither they sent me any email which includes the answers, but only the goddamned notification with a cocky link to their own website. Oh God, if I knew it earlier, I would never risk the deadline and took the backup of the solutions.
EE: u guys are idiots@@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is no solution in the bottom, have a look :)

Is there any other site as their competitor?

yes, I think the reason is a combination of those. Search engines used to be able to see the solutions anyway (when they didn't have the actual answers in plain site you could just look at the page in Google's cache and see the answers)

Recently the 'cached pages trick' stopped working and, like any "unobservant" web surfer, I neglected to look further down the page than I could immediately see so I figured it was just a bygone era (no more information from Experts-Exchange) Thank you for pointing out the obvious.

Marcus, scroll to the bottom of the link and you will understand :)

Basically, they want you to think you cannot see the solution unless you pay, and so they put the solutions right at the bottom after all the categories and links...

what?
