Ask HN: Why does Google index pages I cannot access?
4 by FreeHugs | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Today I googled "follow famous readers online" and this is the top result: https://ift.tt/2ZWH0Fu Google shows that the term is on the page. But when I try to access it, it redirects me to a signup page. What's the deal here? Does Google not notice that? Does it turn a blind eye? Does the NYT trick Google by displaying something else to Google then to me? Or are pages that only members can read now part of the Google index?
