i have come to the conclusion that googlebot and other bot's come visit and index silly pages like fluff pages that aren't really content pages but still valid for the users..

so should i noindex these pages? would that give me any extra boost or weight for the other pages seo wise? i have the feelin this might be the case but i cannot be sure and maybe it is bad for me to noindex pages for seo.

i have thinked about this for a long time but nobody can seem to give me an answer and I would like to hear from you experts

thanks again in beforehand

If they are valid for users - and might attract visitors when they turn up on searches - it would be unwise to remove them. So long as you have good internal navigation, it doesn't matter which page people arrive on, and you can target them on less popular search terms, still making your site more comprehensive.

Though there are exceptions, the old adage "There's no such thing as bad content" does have some truth.
