INTERNET MARKETING

Can anyone tell if using this PDF search engine is really just stealing peoples' products?. I'm wondering how it is allowed to do this. I could do a search in Google and place "filetype:<nospace> pdf" at the end, but this site does it all.

It reminds me when Alexa allowed people to rip off peoples products by revealing their download pages.

Isn't this the same?

I'm looking for some weight loss ebooks to use for a bonus. I'd like to get them for free or low cost, not steal them, but I knew about pdfgenie for a while but I am questioning if it's okay to use.

Thanks for reading so far.

Brian

Guns exist, but it doesn't mean you are free to use one to kill someone.

Notice it's powered by Google. The "filetype : pdf" (without spaces) command is no different, it just makes it easier (for those who don't know it).

  Many ebook creators VOLUNTARILY submit their products to free directories. If you're looking for a good bonus PDF and a clean conscience, simply google "ebook directories" and you should find what you're looking for.
  
  I've uploaded my own products in the past. Just be aware, most of them are full of affiliate links... that's how the author profits; on the back-end.

How is searching for a pdf file any different than searching videos or images?

Granted some pdf's are for sale, but so are movies, and there is a thing called copyright with graphics IIRC.

Yeah, it's possible to steal stuff with any of them. Does that make the tech any more illegal than a VCR that can copy?

Just to add this:

Millions of PDF's are not commercial products, and these are not
internet marketing related reports, ebooks, etc. :p

You can find research reports about cultural consumption of opium in
North Vietnam, articles about blue whales reproduction in the Sea of
Cortez, dissertations and thesis about phonetic and phonological
description of the Mentawai dialect in Siberut Island (Indonesia), etc.

These search engines make research quick and easy. I love them.

I once read...

But seriously - lots of people submit their pdf ebooks
to free ebook directories, so not every pdf is for $$.

pdfgenie.com is very similar to pdf-searchengine.com by Gabor Olah of PLRwholesaler, if I'm not mistaken. I've used them both and it seems that the full ebooks that are available are also found elsewhere on the internet. Most of the pdfs consist of articles, though.
