How long does it usually take for a 100,000+ page site to be indexed by Google? I figure that Google probably indexes sites faster, that have strong quality backlinks. Is this generally true? I started my site in mid-December and have been steadily gaining pages in Google every few days. I currently have 140,000 pages on my site and around 10,000 of them are shown in the google index(using site. Additionally, it shows in google webmaster tools that Google has recently been crawling 4,000+ plus pages a day. In your experience, how long has it taken Google to index your whole site?
It took me 5 months to index 100000 pages. I was blocking them using robots.txt to prevent duplicate content though. What I found was that more unique content matters than links. Getting 100000 of unique content is very hard. I was acquiring lots of links as well to get to that number of indexed pages, definitely without links that process would be much slower.
It all depends on your backlinks, and more importantly your deeplinks. I often get sites in the 150-200k page range indexed in 14-25 days. It's really all about getting nice deeplinks to all your major subcategory pages, if you just get homepage links it's going to take a lot longer no matter how good they are.
I have a 250k+ page site I created. Its been about 3 months. I'll let you know when its done! . I'm starting to think its going to take foooooorrrreeeevvvvvvvveeeeerrrrrr!!! BTW- It is weather related. "city,state weather" is my page formatting with almost every city in the US....
With so many pages, usually a week maximum. It will be indexed pretty quick mate. There is a lot of potential with a site that big aswell. You could make a lot of money.
With a site that big, you must be targetting hundreds if not thousands of different keywords. Simply builkd backlinks, a lot of backlinks. And you will be making a real lot of money very soon. My sites have 30 pages usually. Yours have 100 000. With the exact same SEO. YOu will recieve more than 10 000 more traffic, well the laws of probability state that.
At 4250 at the moment. I see an increase about every week or two. It fluctuates up and down by 50 daily? Not sure why, just as long as it increases stadily over time. I once did a site like this with around 40k pages. It took so long that I basically give up onj it and quit watching and hoping, after about a year, it had around 75% indexed. I'm not sure you can ever get all of it indexed, I dont know. Right now my sitemap has 48,800 links in it. I'd just be happy getting those ranked. As far as "making alot of money" joey112, I'm not too sure I'll make "that" kind of money on it. I will be using it to pick up some adwords and promote another site of mine. I have some sites in my "site farm" that are for later use once they get listed better in the serps. I can explain better in a PM if your really interested, but wont post publically about my ideas.
How do you even get a site that big... How long it takes to index depends on SEO factors, different for different websites and for different niches.
You can't trust the "site:" command in google to tell you an accurate number of pages in the index. I have a 500,000+ page site that google only states has 35,000 pages. But I get Google referrals on over 100,000 different pages each month, so the 35,000 number is wrong. Can you check your web server logs to see which pages Google has crawled? The pages won't get in the index if they haven;t been crawled. Other factors: 1. The linked distance your inner pages are from your homepage and/or other externally linked to pages will play a factor in determining of Google crawls the deeper pages. - Good: 2 - 4 - Poor: 5 - 6 - Bad: 7 or more 2. Are each page's title tag and description 100% unique across your site? 3. Do you have non-parameterized URLs for each page? - Good: /San-Francisco-California-Hotels - Poor: /index.php?city=san+fancisco&state=california&type=hotels 4. Is each page linked to on your site? If so, how many internal links per page? - Good: 3 or more internal links - Poor: 1 link - Bad: 0 links
