      I have a client that has a boat of awesome content they provide to their client that's behind a pay wall ( ie: paid subscribers can only access ) Any suggestions mozzers? How do I get those pages index? Without completely giving away the contents in the front end.

        In short you can't as that content requires paid access to be able to read it so anyone who isn't a subscriber that comes to it won't be able to view the content - Googlebot is essentially a none paying visitor so it can't crawl and index information that is blocked by pay wall.

        You could allow a certain portion of each page to be visible to anyone visiting the site (maybe the first some many lines), this will get it indexed and has been carried out by other companies successfully. Call it a teaser to draw visitors in and increase subscribers if you want more search traffic...
