The real problem is Google indexing it. Wasn't there even a rule from Google that you can't serve different content from what the general public is seeing?

- giornogiovanna 8y agoYes! https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/66355 https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/66355 It's definitely against their policy in my opinion, but I guess you could make a weak case that this is what the public would see if this was their "first visit".
- justinph 8y agoIt is not against their policy. They know how to index it and there is schema.org markup for paywalled content. https://support.google.com/news/publisher-center/answer/40543 https://support.google.com/news/publisher-center/answer/4054...
- IfOnlyYouKnew 8y agoThe problem is people having opinions but lacking the most basic facts... This is about "soft paywalls" that allow you to read maybe a dozen articles per months.

- quickben 8y agoGoogle indexes the entire website, often with multiple visits to the same individual page (to get comments, etc). It definitely doesn't stop at "maybe a dozen" pages a month.
