Re: Weird

For very local news only carried by the Spanish publishers, and not mirrored/reproduced/blogged about elsewhere, you may well be right. But the German experience suggests that in practice traffic does drop dramatically if publishers shut the major search engine(s) out. If the Spanish carry on playing this game then I guess we'll find out!
