Introduction
Often times we find out that we need some resources from the internet. We are at a loss where to start searching from, which website to visit and whatnot. We most ultimately settle down to use Good ‘ol Google search. Yes, your guess is as good as mine! We are also going to be using Google for this guide. Many people on here probably know this trick already. There are many of such Google search queries we can modify to depending on our needs.
Google is arguably the most commonly used search engine all over the world. It has proved to be a very powerful tool in the hands of those who know their ways around it. Don’t worry, this guide isn’t going to be about lots of coding. You just need to type in ONE line of search queries. That’s all!!
Understanding what a Top Level Domain (TLD) is
Websites need to have a domain name that points to their IP address. Several of such TLD exists. The most popular is the .com TLD. Others include .org, .edu, .org, .net, etc. Our focus is on the Country Code TLD (ccTLD). Examples of ccTLDs include .us, .in, .fr, .ru, .ir, etc. Most people using Google search often don’t bother about the TLD extension of their search hits. This is very important. Google mostly defaults to the .com TLD in returning search query results. We are going to be exploring this in searching for our stuffs online.
Importance of the .ir TLD
The .ir TLD is the ccTLD for the Peoples Republic of Iran. Such websites are mainly in the Persian language. For this reason, most people don’t even bother about them. I can tell you authoritatively that the .ir websites are unequaled in the content richness and variety. They are my one-stop-shop for any and everything i search for online. I will highlight some of the reasons why i love them.
- Highly rich in contents ranging from premium games, premium courses, software for all platforms- Windows, macOS, and Linux.
- Majorly free from malware.
- Majorly free from third-party file hosting providers
- Majorly free from unnecessary redirects to ad and affiliate sites
- Most importantly, they offer direct high-speed file downloads from. their servers.
How to Find Any Stuff Online Like a Pro Using .ir TLD
Now let’s dive in. Go to Google and key in the following search query.
“Keyword of your search” site:*.ir.
This simple search query tells Google to search for the keywords in all websites with the .ir TLD name. Let’s illustrate this with a simple example using the regular google search and the tweaked Google search pointing to the .ir domain name. For example, assuming we are searching for a new software I just heard about- sitebulb, I would enter the following search query into Google.
sitebulb site:*.ir
The differences in the results of the search queries are quite obvious. While one gives us direct download links right from the very first page, the other gave us several pages of adverts and even when we did get a link to download it from, there were several hurdles- adverts and redirects to third-party file-hosting sites.
The guide above should be your first-stop-shop when searching for any and everything online. You are assured of getting a hit on the first or second Google search result page in about 85-90% of cases.
List of my Best Persian Websites
Whilst you can always run your searches on your own, I have taken the liberty to present you guys with my list of best .ir sites that i get virtually ALL my stuff from, with little or no stress, all offering direct downloads

- P30Download– This site made me fall in love with Persian websites. It was my first love in this regard (smiles). I seldom visit it anymore because they now host their files on a third party file host. But I owe it to them to mention it. It contains all and everything you can think of.

Bonus
Let me quickly drop links to the direct file servers of one of the Persian sites above. It’s a treasure chest!!! It’s a goldmine!!! Enjoy!!!
Now, you better informed. Don’t go asking anyone to get you links to stuff online. Be the Pro everyone goes to for links.
Final Tip
For those who may have difficulty navigating the Persian sites due to the language barrier, Google Translate is your best bet. Google Chrome automatically translates the Persian sites for you. I don’t need to even translate the sites mostly. With everyday use, you become familiar with where the download link buttons are located on the pages, and you just go there and directly click on them.
If you have errors loading the pages, make use of a VPN, pointing anywhere asides from USA!!!
To navigate and find your content of interest in the index file sites, make use of the search function on PC, by pressing the keys combination, Control + F. This open a dialogue box into which you can then input your search query to find stuffs on the index pages.
