oh that sounds like agood idea.. Did you find a scalable way to noindex them? Maybe a plugin?

I'm wondering post-panda if its wise to block access to blog post summary pages like this one:

Any thoughts?

If you've got a great brandable domain, i'd go with that personally. A keyword domain definately does help with seo, but if long and cumbersome, it will be harder to remember, which could lead to less people remembering it and returning, especially if it has hyphens. Also, many people suspect the seo keyword domains will lower in importance over time, myself included.
