Looking for that latest Kelly Clarkson song? Have three copies of iLife 06, but want iLife08 and feel it is justified that by legally owning three copies of 06 and not using them you are entitled to one copy of 08? Yeah, me too.<br/><br/>Anyway, this all relies on what is called “directory listing.” On webservers, unless it is turned off, you will receive a listing of all files in a given directory if an index does not exist. What is an index? Typically a file name index.blah (htm, html, php, asp, etc). Many people, such as myself, find this useful to store random files on their webserver. Luckily for you, Google indexes these so the contents of all the random directories on the web are accessible to you.<br/><br/>Want to find a certain video? Try using this in the Google search: <a href=”http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=-inurl%3Ahtm+-inurl%3Ahtml+-inurl%3Aasp+intitle%3A%22index+of%22+%2B%28wmv%7Cmpg%7Cavi%29&btnG=Google+Search” target=”_blank”>-inurl:htm -inurl:html -inurl:asp intitle:”index of” +(wmv|mpg|avi)</a> will return a list of all directories containing movies. Add search terms to narrow it down.<br/><br/>You really do want to find that new Kelly Clarkson mp3? Too bad. Instead, we’ll find some Soulja Boy. Enter <a href=”http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=-inurl%3Ahtm+-inurl%3Ahtml+-inurl%3Aasp+intitle%3A%22index+of%22+%2B+mp3+%2B+soulja+boy+superman&btnG=Google+Search” target=”_blank”>-inurl:htm -inurl:html -inurl:asp intitle:”index of” soulja boy crank mp3</a>, wade through some sites that have caught on to this little trick (they are actually fake), and <a href=”http://www.distort-ro.com/Titan/mp3/” target=”_blank”>you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for</a>.<br/><br/>Remember I mentioned iLife08? Sure enough, a quick <a href=”http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=-inurl%3Ahtm+-inurl%3Ahtml+intitle%3A%22index+of%22+%22Last+modified%22+ilife08&btnG=Google+Search” target=”_blank”>-inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:”index of” “Last modified” ilife08</a> later, I had found what I needed.<br/><br/>Happy searching!<br/>

You’re the worst

Jeff, done. Unfortunately, it requires me to define
outside of <head>. Might be a net loss on the SEO front [tongue]</head> -
There are a few extensions out there to let you do this stuff but I really like the “turn to page” feature.
