Does google index non-public pages ie. members logged in page
hi,
I was trying to locate resources on the topics regarding how much the google bot indexes in order to qualify a 'good' site on their engine. For example, our site has many pages that are associated with logged in users and not available to the public until they acquire a login username and password. Although those pages show up in google analytics, they should not be made public in the google index which is what happens.
In light of Google trying to qualify a site according to how 'engaged' a user is on the site, I would feel that the activities on those member pages are very important. Can anyone offer suggestions on how Google treats those pages since we are planning to do further SEO optimization of those pages.
Thanks

RE: 80% Bounce Rate.. Any ideas why?
Yes, I agree with PeterM22.
You need to know that most people that come to the site will have some passing interest on this subject. You need to provide some good links (internally to other parts of your site) and some other 'call to action' in the upper fold of the page. This will probably tickle the fancy of most viewers and have good click thrus whereas the die hard readers will scroll down to read more.
