Paywall'd

[sillysaurus3]

Bizarre. It worked fine for me. I wonder how these paywall algorithms decide who to demand money from? Are you on mobile?

Last 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.

To cross the paywall google the title (http://google.com/search?q=A+Relentless+Widening+of+Disparit...)

Its amazing that Google doesn't nuke sites that do this into oblivion.

Google 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

(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.)

i was under the impression they nuke it for crawling purposes

Apparently not, nytimes still has pagerank 9 (out of 10)
