No index?

[BistosAmerica]

Hi,

I have about 600 posts and most of them are not really optimized (some of them are flash photo gallery).

Should I do no index them?

They are just too many to optimize them.

My website is http://www.soobumimphotography.com/

Thank you

Unless they are creating duplicate content issues or other problems, I personally would not noindex them.

Side note: Did you know your Image Search at the bottom of each page takes you off-site to this location "http://pa.photoshelter.com/c/thadallender/search"? I'd fix the action of that form or remove the widget until it's fixed if I were you. Right now it is not searching your site and is sending people off your site.

Hi,

in my opinion you should 'no index' sites with high bounce rate compare to short time of visit (less than 10 sek). It's true or real bounce rate - visitor spent less than 10 sek on the one site and then left website.

Also good idea is no index or even delete posts with 'heavy' content with long time of page load ... as I think flash galleries could be heavy.  Page loading time (long) could also increase bounce rate.

So you have a choice to have 600 posts or ... maybe 100 good posts ... good content vs average or poor content.

Answer is simple
