Congrats on the release of 1.7. Looking forward to messing around with it soon. Just curious if the Premium (e.g. subscriber-only) content feature allows nodes to be seen by Google? I'd love to have premium content, but I want Google to see it. Yes, I want to have my cake and eat it too!

Cheers,

Andrew

Andrew,

very interesting point. Can you, please, elaborate on it, though? How would this work in reality? If google can see your full content - it will index it, content will show up in search results and anybody will be able to see it via "cached" link. So you will invalidate protection, as far as I understand?

What you can do though, is you can make "teasers" public (both for google and humans). Such thing is possible in OP 1.7 and is a matter of theming (of views and node pages).

How about Google Newsbots?

Bots = YES, show content. Human browsers only see teasers. However, I didn't think about Google cache.

Is there a way to have the same URL show a teaser view of the node for anon users with a message "sign-up for full access..." and authenticated users get to see the full node?

My main concern is being able to feed my premium content to Google News.

Yes, definitely. Showing

Yes, definitely. Showing logged-in users full content and anonymous ones only teaser (either in any view or on node detail page) can be solved in theme and is one of the abilities that new Premium functionality provides. To make it look and behave exactly the way you need, you will have to tweak your theme (which should be sub-theme of openpublish_theme) but the functionality is there.
