I am working on a site that has a large number of pages. Many of the pages that rank and get found in the SERPs actually do not convert very well. If I NOINDEX all of those pages, will that help the pages that are still indexed to rank better? Basically, there is no point in taking all of the pages that are low converting out of the search engines if it doesnt boost the ranking of the others. Any thoughts? Thanks! Jim
If they don't convert well, take off the ads from those pages, but use them to link to other pages with the anchors you want those pages to rank for.
If they don't convert, you should redesign the landing pages and make them convert. Putting them to noindex will not help anything. Build backlinks to pages that do convert. Don't just build links to your homepage, but your converting inner pages as well.
To first couple posters, these pages aren't landing pages for advertisements, they are pages that rank for SEO. Also, @addictionrecovery, they are not really supposed to be landing pages, they just happen to rank. As it turns out they are user profile pages and other sorts of pages that get SEO traffic but really shouldnt.
Monetize that pages with those content which convert well at your other pages. De-index the page bring you nothing as I think..
