When to not index
-
We are working on a brand new site http://www.shedfinders.com/
The site has some login sections i.e. agent profiles for property agents etc, register etc.
I figured what is the harm to submit all of these in sitemap and use Yoast to ensure on page is as good as it can be.
If a user stumbles across any then they would be redirected back to a a register/login page.
Not sure what is best practice?

You would usually want to no index pages like login pages and other pages that may not help a user. This is to decrease bounce rate of your overall site, usability and your site's own privacy.

only submit pages for indexing if they have unique and quality content on them, right now the current indexed pages of the site looks properly indexed with main pages, PDFs, and no duplicate parameter pages at the moment. The last thing you want to do is make hundreds or thousands of indexed user pages with little to no content on them.
by the way i would move the brand name to the end of the title tag instead of the front, if you want it included. title tags should always start with the main keyword
