You can access this information, without giving any personal 
information, if you diguise yourself as Googlebot
http://www.google.com/bot.html

The webbrowser Firefox has an extension callled: "User Agent Switcher". 
With that extension you can diguise yourself as Googlebot and have free 
access.

There is also a way to do this if you use Internet Explorer, although I 
personally have no experience with this solution.
