- prostoalex 11y agoI wonder how well this would work for WSJ type stories. Some of their stories are generic newswires, but the juicy stuff is from knowing insiders and building relationships over the years. A generic reporting service will tell you that "Company A unveiled product B" but will unlikely report that "Company A gave up a bunch of liquidation preferences to get a $1 bln valuation".

- andrewstuart2 11y agoTo my knowledge: Google requires that you can't serve different content to its bots than a user can reach from the search results. So the link from a Google search changes the Referrer to Google (since it's a redirect) and WSJ gives you the content.
