Google Bot / SEO and Cookies

[thinkLukeSEO]

Hi,

I'm trying to monetise my website via a paid subscription / paid content strategy.

The plan is, after the user is on the website for

1. 1min 30secs or clicks 3 map markers or visits 3+ pages
2. A popup will appear asking for a signup + payment
3. Cookie will be set for 6 months, if a users returns and cookie is detected (php) they will be redirected to sign up page

My site relies heavily on organic SEO, so my question is:

Will google bot be presented with this sign up stuff? Does google bot set cookies? will everything be indexed properly... And what affects on SEO?

Thanks James. So I guess I just try it and see how it goes.

This is absolutely perfect. Thank you James.

I think i'll plan out this strategy better before I go ahead. I won't show the sign up after 1min 30secs, but let the user see the full text of a page from serp as the article. I think I will continue to restrict map marker clicks, after 3 clicks the markers will be unclickable and transparent - this is one of the most valuable parts of my website and I'm not sure how important that is for googlebot and search rankings. I'll also only ask for sign up on only certain pages. Perfect.

I really wanted a way to for people to see the content and helpfulness of the website, so this is perfect.
