Dynamic Pages with No Results Causing Thin Content

[yaelslater]

Hi Mozers,

We have dynamic listing pages that pull in clinical trial results for specific disease types. Sometimes diseases have clinical trials and sometimes they don't. This means that sometimes the page will have zero results and sometimes it will return results.

We have a sizable number of these so that when there are zero results, these pages look like thin content.

What is the recommended method of dealing with this?

Is there a way of doing a conditional noindex where the page is indexed if results are pulled in and and not indexed when the page returns zero results?

If we can do this, should we? Will it confuse Google and send negative signals?

Any guidance/thoughts are much appreciated!

Yael
