Listen, this is the last I will say about this, you can make up your own decision...

however this quote from your link:

Quote:
There are a lot of websites out on the net that require you to register or even pay to see content. Yet, they're indexed and served in Google. If this was a rampant violation of their terms of service, then they'd clearly state it. Again, it's your choic to use this mod or not. If you are extremely worried, then don't use it. Simple as that!
Is just flat out wrong. There is no major site that does that because it is indeed the very definition of "cloaking" and will get you banned from google.

Before you accept his comment find for yourself just 1 major site that does this. You can't- because there are none. There are sites that do "tricks" but trust me there is no major site that gets their pages indexed by google and then requires you to register or pay to see them- even free registration.

One example is http://www.experts-exchange.com/. If your a computer/technology person you may often find them in google as an answer to a technical question.

If I send you a link to a "solution" say this one: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Stor..._27297469.html

You can't see it without registering... scroll to the very bottom... nothing.

But if you search for it in google:
http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy-a...=1735&bih=1256

It is the first real link on the page... follow it from google.

Now scroll to the bottom.

Look- Now ALL the answers are visible at the bottom of the page. It still looks like you need to pay and register to see the answers, but if you keep scrolling they are all there.

Why? Because they HAVE to be or else experts-exchange would be banned from google.

See they use a trick- they check the page referrer in the script- if you are referred from google you get to see the answers for free. If you are referred from somewhere else, say from here, you don't get any answers.

So once again, and for the last time, no matter what someone tells you, you are not allowed to cloak content from google and that includes requiring free registration.
