This is a very smart move by the WSJ, I would say. They have strong,
compelling content (for those in the business/finance world) and this is a
way for them to get more exposure while offering a little payback. Whether
or not other web sites will find this sufficiently attractive is hard to
say. If they do it, it simply offers another avenue for their site visitors
to leave their site.
It will be interesting to see if this works for the WSJ.
