I have a tech blog and used wordpress as a CMS. I haven't maintained it properly for several months and now I outsourced for content creation to several writers and have around 1000 articles ready. Now my concern is if I post all 1000 articles in short amount of time like few hours, I believe it might appear to be fishy with regards to SEO. I use xml sitemap plugin too. How many articles I can post per hour/day ? or shall i just disable pinging and xml sitemap until I post all articles. Need your thoughts. Thanks
its great that you have so many articles ready. you can use it to your advantage. google likes fresh content and site or blog having fresh content gets better ranking as googlebot visits the site more often to index the fresh content. i suggest put about 1/3 the content now and keep adding few more on a daily basis. do it over the next 2-3 months period. you will see great result given that the content is unique
Am I the only one that thinks creating 1000 articles is overkill, are you trying to make your own internet Well I certainly wouldn't publish 1000 articles all at once and I would be concerned about the quality of the articles. G is not stupid and knows full well what people are doing. Why not just concentrate on creating consistent good quality content, it's what all the big players do and look how well they do in the SERP's.
I agree with sultanofseo, you dont need to put all articles at once,and get punished.Act smart,publish 2 or 3 articles daily
Am I told you that I am adding paid links hmmm. thanks. will look at the possiblilty... Yes. You are. I have many site which has more than 50000 indexed pages. LoL. All the articles are unique and copyscape passed. Do not do assume blindly if someone is creating 1000 articles then they do not have quality. I recruited around 50 writers and they have been working for me past few months to create these 1000 articles. I usually publish upto 10 articles per day. (excluding this one)
After a small research I found that adding huge content will not hurt. however, i need to keep on doing the same amount of content regularly. like if we add 100 articles per week we need to keep on adding articles every week.
Don't worry about how much original content you publish in a short period. Too many backlinks in a short period of time, that is different.
I heard low PR sites only get their front pages crawled. If you add 1000 pages then with a blog only a few are linked to from that front-page. The rest get crawled with the next PR update, if you are a high PR site you get the deep crawl shortly before the update, which maps the entire site, and if you are low PR only your frontpage is taken into account. The rest are crawled after the major update, that's probably why a month after the big update you get a wave of low ranking sites getting a new rank. Adding 1000 posts can mean only your last few pages are immediately indexed, and the rest might get a 'secondary result' states due to your link structure and won't even be indexed at all, so only half your pages appear in the search engine. If you have a blog, setting your front page to 10 posts, posting 10 each day and then pinging Google, and doing that for three months at least ensures all pages are indexed at least once. It can also give you a truckload of backlinks from Technorati, IceRocket and other tagging sites, so I'd opt for the slow regular posting.
That's not true. The spiders are crawling constantly across the internet, not "with the next PR update" do you get crawled or indexed. If you are using WordPress, for example, there is a complete interlinking internally, so every page could and will be crawled, if allowed. You could publish 10 or 527 in one day and it will be crawled. Maybe not all within the first few days, but very quickly. The more quality backlinks you have, the more the spiders will end up coming back to you to crawl once more. In addition, updating your sitemap frequently will notify Google, etc of the new content and will prompt them to resend the spiders. Also, pinging helps. There are plenty of news sites that have hundreds of pages of content added over a short period. Just look at Squidoo, Hubpages, Digg, etc. They have content added that are often buried shortly after being created or are created deeply within the site. All could, and often will, be crawled and indexed within days or maybe a couple weeks of creation.
