Sorry I did not answer your question earlier. I used that particular page in the post because it was an example of how these autogenerated pages come into being in the first place, from a post I did back when I first called Jason on the practice. It was the actual page that I had seen the noindex tag on after Jason added it. You can get to any of these autogenerated pages by running a query on Mahalo itself. It was never an issue of how many of the empty pages were ranking per se (although quite a few do, just not that one), but rather of the sheer numbers of them that were collecting enough tiny quantities of of PageRank each, that was then (and is still, as a matter of fact) adding up to massive amounts of self-sustaining ranking power: http://smackdown.blogsblogsblogs.com/2010/02/22/apparently-jason-calacanis-knows-hes-spamming-he-just-thinks-its-no-big-deal/ http://smackdown.blogsblogsblogs.com/2010/02/22/apparently-j... I hope that helps.
