I read Wall Street Journal, and occasionally check
articles on their Web site. It's mostly free, with some items
available to subscribers only. It seems random, which ones
they block, about 20%.
Anywho, sometimes I use their search utility, the usual author
or title search, and it blocks, then I look it up on Google, and
link from there, and it loads! ok, Web gurus, what's going on?
WSJ want their articles to be findable from Google.
So they open up for Google indexing them.
If they require any type of registration to see an article,
then Google will remove the link.
So therefore WSJ (and many other web sites!) gives more access
if you come from Google than if not.
