Policy Change; paid pageviews

Starting later today, guest page views will not count as paid page views. In order for a paid page view to be counted, the user has to be logged in.

Why are we doing this? Cheaters are driving the RSR down. You have all seen the notices, and blog entries for services that guarantee tons of traffic to your profile overnight. All these traffic exchanges, automated programs, and auto-surfing scripts are inflating page views, and that makes the RSR lower for legitimate users. Since all this traffic is from random non-Yuwie members, the easiest way to stop this is to not count guest views. We know this will affect some legitimate traffic to the site, and we apologize for that.

Again, in order for any page view to be counted, the viewer has to be logged in. Thanks for your patience. If you have any questions, please contact us through the help area.

This is a major change in how Yuwie works; you can stop bothering about everyone outside Yuwie and just focus on the members themselves.
Im not sure what to think of this. I see where this is coming from, but on the other hand I'm afraid this will encourage the Spam and Self Promotion on the noticeboard and in my messages even more.
Instead of focusing on good content for search engines to atrackt more visitors, everyone now will try to get all the people on Yuwie to their profiles; spam spam spam!

What do you think of the policy change?
