More pages means more google penalties ?

    Hi,

    If the numbers of pages on a website significantly increase in a short period of time, could the website be "black-listed" as detailed in the following article from 2005:

    http://www.seroundtable.com/archives/002134.html

    If so, what are the main consequences ? (black-listing, decrease in ranking, …)

    and, especially what can we do to solve this problem and what are the actions to avoid it in the future?

    Can we avoid this issue by temporarily integrating a disallow or a nofollow in links related to the new pages?

    Thank you :)

    I have seen it and it points out a real flaw in googles algorithm, because a site like a forum that gets popular in a hurry because of a good quality core of interested people finding it relevant and posting there ends up getting peenalized because google says that it is getting too many pages without having google's traffic feeding it

    as far as getting out of the penalty, I have seen a year later the site is still penalized, not completely penalized, but not getting a lot of google love and even so far as a seemingly lower PR compared to other sites with similar backlinks

    it seems like once a site has been penalized, it lasts a long time in some way or another, like google decides it is not going to totally trust that site ever again

    i do agree with priyakochin, just one question - what if "Someone copied your content and you don't knew it?" will google penalize you or the one who copied your content? or the two of you?

    can you explain your post more? what have you seen to back that up? I have seen sites that gained 20,000 pages in the first 2 months and they seemed to get penalized badly even though none of it was duplicate and the penalties seem to last a long time

    I firmly believe that it is possible for google to penalize a site for growing in pages fast, maybe if that is coupled with some other factor in the algorithm like a lack of organic traffic? I don't know, but I believe some sites are being unfairly punished by google

    google penalizes the one who was second, they know who was first online to publish it. Google does see a site that gets bunches of pages overnight as "unnatural growth" - and you could be penalized for it.

    I agree with you jtpratt

    the sad thing is, some really bad sites have google visiting them alot, and if your site only gets googlebot visiting not as often, it might find the other site that stole your content first, and then your site will be the one getting penalized for duplicating (even though you are the original)

    that is why I turn off all rss on most sites I have, because I don't want to make it easier for sites to steal my content
