Paywall'd

- sillysaurus3 13y agoBizarre. It worked fine for me. I wonder how these paywall algorithms decide who to demand money from? Are you on mobile?
- chc 13y agoLast I checked, NYTimes.com was still using the "X free views every Y days" model. So chadwickthebold most likely reads the Times more than you do.
- misiti3780 13y agoif you are using chrome, use command+shift+N and then cut and paste the url into an incognito window :)
- dtech 13y agoTo cross the paywall google the title (http://google.com/search?q=A+Relentless+Widening+of+Disparity+in+Wealth http://google.com/search?q=A+Relentless+Widening+of+Disparit...) Its amazing that Google doesn't nuke sites that do this into oblivion.
- misiti3780 13y agoi was under the impression they nuke it for crawling purposes
- dtech 13y agoApparently not, nytimes still has pagerank 9 (out of 10)
- chc 13y agoGoogle explicitly endorses this. As long as clicking a link from Google gets you to what the Googlebot saw, it's OK to put a paywall up for everyone else. It maintains Google's SERP reliability and allows publishers to make money on content, so Google views this as a good arrangement. https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/74536?hl=en https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/74536?hl=en (Lest you think this is completely evil and self-serving, remember that the alternative is banning paywalls altogether — which means the sites would be forced to rely on ads, which would be even more in Google's interest as the biggest player in the ad game. So I think this might be what Google being selfless looks like.)
