- matsemann 3y agoIt used to be against guidelines to serve different content to google vs what users would see. Not sure if still the case, but I don't think it's in google's interest to give a result that the user actually can't access.
- ComputerGuru 3y agoI’m not aware that this policy has changed. What has changed is that Google will rank results it can’t (officially) index without showing their content. I’m guessing they do shadow index them but use the whole “if you outwardly can’t tell they did then it’s as if they didn’t” C++ compilers use to get away with insane optimizations.
