Google made a *policy* change to their First Click Free program. This is all about Google anti-"cloaking" policy. A web site may not show one thing to Google, and another thing to users. If you do - Google will remove you from their index.
But they have exceptions for subscription/registration sites. They are allowed to put up a pay-wall (subscription/registration requirement) as long as clicks coming from Google referred pages (News and Search) are exempted. As long as your landing page on your site is visible to users with it's full content, you can put up a pay wall on subsequent clicks in your site.
This weeks announcement allows publishers to be a bit more restrictive in their policy. They can now block the 6th and later link from a Google site each day. Google is doing nothing new here - but just changing their allowed policy for publishers implementing First Click Free.
