RE: Click Through Rate on Password Protected Pagesposted in Intermediate & Advanced SEO
Christopher thank you for your response! I'm more concerned with Google themselves tracking our CTR, thus enhancing our search results for our site overall without being able to index the specific database pages. Does that make sense? Do you know about this?

Click Through Rate on Password Protected Pagesposted in Intermediate & Advanced SEO
Hi Moz community,
I have a website that has a large database with 800+ important pages, and want Google to know when people visit and stay on these pages. However, these pages are only accessible to people once they create an account with a password, and sign in.
I know that since these pages are password protected, Google doesn't index them, but when our visitors stay for a while on our site browsing through our database, does this data get included in our CTR and Bounce Rate by Google? This is really important for Google to know about our database (that people are staying on our site for a while) for SEO purposes, so I wanted to know that if the CTR gets measured even though these pages aren't crawled.
Thanks for the help!!
