The Albuquerque Journal charges $50 if you want to link to their articles! A new revenue model? Legally its possible. I don’t think too many sites can get away with it, though. I mean, only the Wall Street Journal gets away with charging for content. Anyway, looks like flat rate pricing will eventually win.
Charging people who link
I discuss the Albuquerque Journal's decision to charge $50 for inbound links. While legally possible, I doubt many sites can succeed with this model compared to the Wall Street Journal, as flat-rate pricing likely remains the future.
