Apologies if you covered this somewhere - I can't find any reference to it...

 

My current setup involves a specific, separate landing page for each traffic source. Other than the URL, though, these pages are identical.

 

Since they're just squeeze pages, and aren't pulling any traffic, do I need to noindex them? And if I do, will that interfere with Google Analytics for those pages?

 

Thanks!

Hey Mike,

If the copy is different than I wouldn't worry about setting them to no index, but if the copy is the same I would, just to avoid duplicate content issues.

As for Google analytics, I've found conflicting data on this. Some saying it does, and some saying it doesn't. I don't personally rely on GA all that much so I'm not 100% certain. I don't think the no follow tag does though, if the tracking code is installed on that page. That seems to be the majority opinion. But a quick test will solve that once and for all. Just add some code and have a few friends go to the page and see what shows up, allowing for a tracking delays.
