For example: Meta Content = free/register/pay/subscription/etcThen the search engines can give an option to their users to view only free or free + “non free” content. A bot crawling this content would run across the Meta Tags and deal with it accordingly. Suggestion to help legitimate cloaking:

We're still in Beta, but the idea is that we create an email system where users attach value to individual messages, and where the tokens of value are scarce. In other words, if you want to send a message to get someone's attention, you attach units of virtual currency to "put your money where your mouth is." As a busy person, you tell your coworkers that you're going to prioritize your emails based on how many currency units are attached. :) If email is a huge problem for you, you might want to look into what Seriosity is working on.

It's so freeing to keep your inbox at zero, and it's actually not that difficult to achieve. It involves doing things differently -- doing triage on each email that comes in, applying the 2-minute rule (if it will take 2 minutes or less to handle, just do it then and there instead of saving it for later), not using your inbox as the place to process your emails, and a bunch of other stuff. You can learn more about the process from 43Folders' <a href="http://www.43folders.com/2006/03/13/inbox-zero/" rel="nofollow">Inbox Zero</a> series.If you aren't familiar with GTD, you can get the Cliffs' Notes version of what it is from <a href="http://www.marketingprofs.com/7/spencer31.asp" rel="nofollow">my article published today on MarketingProfs</a>.

That is a GREAT idea… I just tried to do it with my Gmail account and could not figure out how to do it.
