- cb18 10y agoBecause the WSJ wants Google to index their articles, but Google will penalize sites that show different content to a regular user vs a crawler. Or something like that.
- WalterSear 10y agoThe WSJ journal wants to charge people for access, but it doesn't want to lose prominence in google and the traffic that that provides. However, google isn't going to index information that isn't available to searchers, so they have to leave things entirely open.
