A search wall for UK Times
Found on New York Post on Wednesday, 26 May 2010
Although they are not the first papers to erect pay barriers around their content, the papers are going a step further by making most of their site invisible to Google's Web crawler. Except for their homepages, no stories will show up on Google.
The British papers are the first within the News Corp. fold to jump off the search bandwagon.
Nobody will really care. News aren't really owned by Rupert, so blocking users only harms those papers. Other sites will happily accept the new traffic of users searching for the latest headlines.
