Their ploy changes sometimes, but the answer is always there on the page somewhere.

http://www.experts-exchange.com/Apple/Operating_Systems/OS_X...

If you scroll down a bit it says "answer is available to premium members". But the page would not rank on Google if it didn't have actual content. Scroll all the way to the very bottom of the page. (APPLE-DOWNARROW on Mac) Bingo.

Hmm what browser do you use?

Firefox and Chrome on Windows XP dont appear to have content hidden anywhere.

This is what I see on the example you used. http://screencast.com/t/mJLb2rsD Any ideas where I am missing it? (checked the source too)

No, I scroll all the way down and don't see anything. Do you need to be logged in? Even if you only have to be logged in without paying, it's still annoying as heck.

It only works for certain referring pages. Google being one of them. Direct access, or a HN referral will not show the answers.
