Here is a secret tip that can save you money in the Ebook jungle out there. Some say the following method isn’t fully ethical, but as fas as I am concerned, there are so many unethical ‘gurus’ trying to get you to spend $29-$49-$97 on some bogus Ebook, that I decided to share it with the readers of this blog.

I am not a Google Hack Expert, but I found the following hack somewhere on the internet, and it can be extremely useful in finding that special ebook (or mp3, or anything), as there are many people who upload their digital inventory to a website (server). Or they change the hoplinks in the ebooks they bought or found und upload them to function as a kind of ‘honeypot‘. Hey, that’s a money idea!

This particular Google Hack has the following structure:
-inurl:(htm|html|php) intitle:”index of” +”last modified” +”parent directory” +description +size +(pdf) “ebooks” affiliate

In this case it searches for directories with pdf files in combination with the keywords ‘ebook’ and ‘affiliate’. And see what we found here with the above search: the famous Affiliate Project X Ebook, among other ebooks. First time I read that one, somewhat useful, but worth $97?

A word of warning: this is a very powerful hack, use it wisely and sparingly. And know that the really blac.k hat guys out there know that there are people using this hack, so don’t blame me when you ‘find’ something that you weren’t looking for …
