Rupert Murdoch has been trying to make his internet news sites accesible only to people that can pay for the content and while this is nothing new, the endeavour doesn’t guarantee any success.

He believes nobody is making real money with internet websites, so he will be charging visitors for content and place ads on those pages and at the same time he will be hiding the content of his websites from Google in a direct strike to Google News, but what Mr. Murdoch could do is to turn off the search engine option in the Robots.txt file in any of his websites, I don’t believe that hiding the content will make it more interesting for people to look for it, Mr. Murdoch isn’t well advised on the matter and he could ask Google to remove his content from the search engine database, this will help him achieve his dream a lot faster.

But paying for content won’t happen any time soon, sorry Murdoch, your news sites won’t get me to pay any time soon.
