Million Vs. Hundred page site

8 replies
I plan to create a website, basically for adsense and search engines. It will have dynamic pages, which means I can create million pages on it in no time.

My question is how do search engines see something like this? or should I just stick with some 100 page website?

Has anybody done anything like this?

I even plan to extend it so that people can "buy" this from me and can have their own million page website. Does it sound like a good idea?

      Look up thefind.com (1.8M pages) or nextag.com (20M pages)

      To answer the original question, the real challenge of such a huge site is to develop in depth linking. Otherwise the indexing is superficial. Google, and probably Bing and Yahoo too, only skim a website a few 100 pages at a time, even with one with a sitemap, in order to avoid a "spider trap" script. To avoid this, you'll want to create incoming links to top to mid level category pages, thus creating multiple entry points for the search engine 'bots. If you look close, you'll see this is what thefind.com did.

        I love seeing nextag ranking in a niche I am targetting.....it means a simple site will outrank it easily.

        Is The OP going to employ the 100+ people that nextag do or the 5o or so that Thefind do?

          No. I can just do it myself. Of course, mine won't be that sophisticated though.

    IT would be interesting to see the results from this. If i was going to make a prediction though, i imagine search engines would be asking how you can make 1m pages so quickly.

    Especially when you consider how old sites like Hub pages are which i believe have about 3m

    Sites with fast growing footprints will be treated with suspicion by Google as search engine spam e.g. scrapper sites. However, forums and social media sites with lots of user contributed content will be alright. It all depends on what the Google employee will do if your site is flagged for a manual review. Obviously for some reason, Google decided that nextag and thefind were not spam sites.

    In the past, most of these pages would be put into the supplemental index where they do not rank well or at all. Nowadays, you are more likely to see most of them being de-indexed or your whole site banned altogether. I did once rammed more than 20 million pages into Google once but it only stayed there for a month or so. During that time, I only had 4000 unique visitors per day but However, the number of indexed pages and visitors quickly dropped down.

    I'm interested in what you're using to create this. Are you selling it? How much are you selling it for? Lastly is it copyscape pass content?
    And yes it does sound like something good if it spins out quality and not the usual junk most of such tools create. I guess it all boils down to the quality of it and not the number of pages.
