Does google index non-public pages ie. members logged in page

[jumpdates]

hi,

I was trying to locate resources on the topics regarding how much the google bot indexes in order to qualify a 'good' site on their engine. For example, our site has many pages that are associated with logged in users and not available to the public until they acquire a login username and password. Although those pages show up in google analytics, they should not be made public in the google index which is what happens.

In light of Google trying to qualify a site according to how 'engaged' a user is on the site, I would feel that the activities on those member pages are very important. Can anyone offer suggestions on how Google treats those pages since we are planning to do further SEO optimization of those pages.

Thanks

i jsut recently started your program, and have the same basic problem.  about 10 of my pages are PRIVATE.
Also, i have links to about 10 PDF and 5 VIDEO  tutorial, which are also private,  Log in Only.

now, i read your answer, and have no idea what you said.  GWT??   Robots.txt>???

i guess i am not far enough in the course of this to get it yet?

Just block those individual pages via Robots.txt in GWT. "IF" they are already in Google's index, remove the URLs in GWT.

DONE!
