Google+ is the most trending social networking website we know. It is increasing day by day. There is a lot of SEO benefit if you/your-page are connected with other Google+ users. There may have some aplications those need google+ users’ profile ID to send message, friend request, invite to circle etc. All users are identified by its unique ID. If you know any user’s ID you can get his some public information very easily by using some google API. I had a question , how can I get all google+ user’s profile ID. I did not get the answer anywhere. I had an idea to search that. Users’ profile page is public by default and it is being indexed in search engine. So there must have an open url to get all Google+ profile page urls.
Today I was studying about robots.txt. You must know what robots.txt is. I was testing how big websites wrote their robots.txt. We know all websites keep this robots.txt in the site-root/home directory as example http://example.com/robots.txt. You can open this file from any modern website. I was testing that. http://facebook.com/robots.txt , http://yahoo.com/robots.txt , http://www.bing.com/robots.txt , http://youtube.com/robots.txt . And finally when I open http://google.com/robots.txt I found a strange thing I think. At the bottom of the file I found Sitemap: http://www.gstatic.com/s2/sitemaps/profiles-sitemap.xml . Go to this url http://www.gstatic.com/s2/sitemaps/profiles-sitemap.xml , You will see a list of Google+ profile sitemaps url.
http://www.gstatic.com/s2/sitemaps/sitemap-00000000.txt http://www.gstatic.com/s2/sitemaps/sitemap-00000001.txt http://www.gstatic.com/s2/sitemaps/sitemap-00000002.txt ............. ............. http://www.gstatic.com/s2/sitemaps/sitemap-00000003.txt http://www.gstatic.com/s2/sitemaps/sitemap-00000004.txt http://www.gstatic.com/s2/sitemaps/sitemap-00000005.txt
All URLs of this xml file contain all google+ users profile ID and URLs. I opened one of theme http://www.gstatic.com/s2/sitemaps/sitemap-00000000.txt and got thousands of google+ users profile ID.

There are no hack here, G+ user id have always been public and fairly useable by devs : https://developers.google.com/+/api/latest/
And yes all your public information are indexed, but it’s the business model of all social network.

Can we post our website links to these public profile URLs?

OK, here is a question
When we are looking at someone’s google+ profile, scripts are identifying you to show you only the things you are allowed to see.
That probably means that your account id is checked. How to cheat code and see someone’s profile as other user?
Like my id is 11111 and i would like to see the profile as it is seen by user with id 2222?
