I want to require my users to login to view topics, but I assume that makes all content invisible to Google? Ideally the topics/posts would still be indexed by Google for their SEO value to help drive traffic, and then when a user clicks a result they would be taken to the front page where I can tell them why they should sign up.

Some more technical users will probably be able to spoof the googlebot useragent and get access to the content that way, but I’m sure that is a small percentage.

Any ideas on how I could implement this?

Thanks!
