I have some questions. I wanted to add a couple of article pages to a site i'm working on.
So,...
Q.1. The article pages that i found are pages that are *not* allowed any type of alterations. So i can't search engine optimize the pages.
Q. Should i still use the pages for just plain content that relates to my site?
Q2. If it is not allowed to change the page content and the page seems like spam, should i use the robots tag to not index the page?
***>Will this work or will the robots still index?<**
Q.3. Should i still set the robots tag to "follow" links on *these* pages?
Q.4. If i can't optimize the pages what benefit is it to me to use the pages?
Q.5. Will having *more* pages with my *navigation* *links* on *these* pages(these pages are not search engine optimized) linked back to my main page help in rankings?
Ex.
NAVIGATION:
>home
>info
>order
>resources
>article blah blah
webpage:
>article blah blah<
<p> related content but seems like
spam for keyword. Links to main page on my site.
Robots tag used stating "no index", "follow".</p>
Q.6. Will using the robots "no index", "follow" help in not indexing the page and following the links to my site help the rankings of the site?
Q.7. What if the robots tag "follow" is used and the robots follow the page link in the article and it goes to a "spam" page on another site?
Q.8. >>>>>Is it best to just use "no index", "no follow", or, not use these types of content pages?

What do you mean with "just plain content"?
