    I have amember integrated with Joomla and have thousands of pages behind a password protected wall that are not indexed ... I would love to figure out a way to get them indexed ... I guess creating an exception fo rthe Google spider .. but still have this content password protected. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Would even be willing to hire someone to help me out with this.

    Thank you!

    Can you make the read more area restricted and allow the search engines to crawl the intro text.

    The other issue is that showing Google a view that is different from a normal visitor (cloaking) is against Google terms of service and can get you banned.
