Is this another case where Google of the Chrome frame for IE6, where Google realizes that things won't change until they intervene? Really, the news sites should be the ones to add a cookie on their sites and redirect users after visiting x pages in a day - a very simple thing to build.
I don't understand why Google has to be involved, unless they want to push things forward or be on good terms with Fox and co. A very hacky solution, IMHO, and an approach that won't lead news sites to profitability.

But if they do it right, they'll make the news sites happy as they are going out of business. The news sites will blame the users. Also, if they do it right, the users will be blaming the news sites and not Google. I think Google is out to call Rupert Murdoch's bluff.
- cma 17y agoGoogle has to be involved because their policy was that if what you display is different from what they are indexing, you are gaming the index and are dropped from it. Now they have modified that stance to say if what you display before a user makes 5 visits to your site through google is different from what they are indexing, you are gaming the index and are dropped from it. The new stance is pretty lame on Google's part, and IMHO it breaks the web.
