Probably in an effort to increase search term relativity for their site they allow access to these pages. Step 1: Allow indexing of every story Step 2: Drive traffic thru to the site via popular wine search terms Step 3: Block access to the story, except for a teaser at the top Step 4: Profit from new subscribers dying for the information!! My guess is they just don't know there is a loophole. That’s a good point, and I believe therein lies Wine Spectator’s problem.

Step 1: Allow indexing of every story
Step 2: Drive traffic thru to the site via popular wine search terms
Step 3: Block access to the story, except for a teaser at the top
Step 4: Profit from new subscribers dying for the information!!

My guess is they just don’t know there is a loophole.

Unless the developer specifically allowed it... This is interesting, why would the google spider gain access to password protected pages? Unless the developer specifically allowed it…
