I have mixed feelings about this. Unless use of that framed copy results in a hit to the C&I site, it has the effect of diminishing apparent readership, thus diminishing both C&I's desirability for a sponsor and my continuing interest in doing it. (Few readers = other things to do with my time.) Yes, it has a CC license that makes this perfectly legitimate, so I'm not complaining, but...I'm not sure this "works to the benefit of " me as publisher. - Walt Crawford

Walt, this is exactly the same of argument that the major content producers have made against YouTube and other sharing methodologies. As a recommendation, you could, yourself, put Cites & Insights up on a sharing site like Scribd where you could record hits/views, and allow embedding. - Jason Griffey

Jason: "Mixed feelings" is exactly that. I'm not asking Peter *not* to do this, and it may turn out to be a great thing. And, for all I know, maybe the methodology Peter's using *does* result in referred hits. (No particular interest in stripping C&I's site context by doing my own mounting on a third-party site: I don't see the advantage. And, let's face it, C&I is a mixed medium, basically print delivered via the internet.) - Walt Crawford
