Paid Content: To Index or Not to Index, That is the Question

[DuongDiem]

Hello, you there! Person reading this post. How did you find it? If you#8217;re a loyal MarketingPilgrim follower then maybe you came in here via our daily email update. Perhaps you came in off a social media link or you clicked a bookmark. If you#8217;ve never been here before, then chances are you came in via a search engine. Welcome. We#8217;re happy to have you and we hope you come back often.



Search engines are vital to the success of any site with written content. So why would you want to stop them from indexing your site?



The [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] UK newspaper The Times stopped them because they felt it ran counter to their paid content business model. sim viettel Back in 2010, the newspaper blocked search engine spiders as part of their conversion to digital subscriptions. Apparently, they believed that their good sim viettel name alone would drive traffic to the site.



They don#8217;t believe that anymore.



According to PaidContent, sim viettel The Times is about to open the doors #8212; a little #8212; allowing search engines to pull the first few lines of every article in hopes of snagging new subscribers. Wow, radical thinking. Before they exterminated the spiders, [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] The Times said that up to 40% of their traffic came from search engines. Why in the world would they want to cut that off?



I suppose The Times thought that exclusivity would outweigh the benefits of random sim viettel searchers. Now, they#8217;re saying they need to give indexing a try as a marketing experiment.



Most of the online papers that offer digital subscriptions allow readers to view several free articles a month and a portion of articles beyond sim viettel that. It#8217;s the difference between watching half a movie than being asked to pay to see the ending, or just seeing the title before you have to pay. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] Hmmm. . .could be a new concept for video on demand. .* .



I can#8217;t sim viettel see how The Times ever justified cutting off the search engines in the first place. I don#8217;t care how large and how loyal your customer base is, you have to constantly bring in new customers or you#8217;ll fail in a few years.







Digital www.simdepdongnai.com subscriptions are still an experiment. They work for some and not for others. Tablets are making them more popular as slowly, magazines are cutting down their printed pages in favor of digital ones. The trouble is, there are still hundreds of excellent, free options for digital news so paid content models need all the help [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] they can get and that includes a hand from Bing, Yahoo and Google.
