Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi! Quick question regarding UGC... On our site - http://designrfix.com - we have a /news section (which contains about 40 000 news items) - shown in the right sidebar at the bottom I recently changed the /news (and all subpages) section to noindex and asked a removal on Google Webmaster Tools...  was this a good idea? Those pages are low content pages and the bounce rate is really high since all articles are external sites.
