There should be an option in the admin panel to set the number of profiles that a guest can view before they get prompted to sign in.

Having profiles open to the public is good for the search engines and it gives members a better idea of what the site is about, but some guests will spend all their time viewing profiles without registering. If you give them a profile view limit to say 3, then they would be more likely to register faster.  Grin

Will it be SEO friendly? Google bot will receive different content from the same URL.
May be it would be better to limit number of pages that free members can view in search results?

Yes, keep it SEO friendly so that Google bots can still spider through all the pages. Only limit access to free members, if that's possible.

Easton, you're right, Guests should have a set limit on how many profiles they can view before they register. 

However, it might be a good idea for people with paid sites to be allowed to set a profile view limit for free members too (Similar to how you can set the number of sent/read messages). That could be used as an incentive to get free members to upgrade.

But i have a question here, if there is a limit search for Free Members and a Free Member hit that limit when searching, will they be directed to Payment Page? It makes sense for they to be re-directed to Payment Page after reaching limit

They should get a message prompt they they have to upgrade to view more pages (Send them to the subscription page). When they reach their limit it is only daily (based on a 24 hour time period). If they log onto the site the next day they should be able to view more profiles.
