Launching large site with many pages that have no content, should i use no follows?
I'm launching a large drupal site but many of my pages wont have content for a while. I'm not sure if I can just turn the pages off in Drupal without breaking the nav but in the event that I can't, would you use index no follows?
I wanted to start my link building efforts early for the home page and a few other pages so my dillema is what to do about Google finding links to all these pages with no content.

Noindexed pages accumulate and pass PageRank, as long as the meta tag states noindex, follow (as opposed to nofollow). There is no guarantee of how long it will take Google to see the removal of the noindex tag once you take it away, although if the site has a good amount of PageRank and is crawled regularly, it should not take too long.
