Google dorks for growth hackers
A comprehensive guide on google docs for growth hackers 🔥
A Google dork is a search string that uses Google’s custom search operators to filter down search results. When used creatively, these filters can return information that wasn’t meant to be found. Exploiting Google dorks is known as Google dorking or Google hacking.
Personally, I use Google dorks for a lot for multiple reasons, including but not limited to:
- Finding contact information for top influencers
- Creating a list of 10,000+ PR contacts
- Building a huge database of 5,000 PR contacts
- Finding cold emailing and cold calling scripts used by the top people in any niche
- Spying on how my competitors are running their business.
All of this and much more for $0.
You can search Google for strings that are optimized to return sensitive documents…
Like contact lists, potential leads & more.
A lot of these documents probably shouldn’t have been on Google.
Here’s how you can put google dorks together yourself:
HOW TO FILTER YOUR GOOGLE SEARCHES WITH OPERATORS
You can filter your search with Google Operators.
An operator is a short string that tells Google which results you want to remove…
And which you want to show more of.
Here are some of the most popular search operators. (See the full list here.)
OR: A logical OR: tesla OR edison
“Search Term”: Search for an exact match: "tallest building"
- : Exclude words from your search : jaguar speed -car
+ : Search for a synonym : +California
info: Get details about a site : info:google.com
site: Search within a specific website : site:youtube.com
filetype: Target a specific extension : filetype:pdf
intitle: Search for a phrase in the title : intitle: "tesla vs edison"Include these in your google searches to filter down the results you’ll get.
