Bulk Uploading Pages and SEO Advice Please

I have a client who wants to add 1000 ish new products to his eccommerce site in one hit.

He has asked me what I think the SEO impact will be and if there is a way he should go about doing the upload in order to minimise any negative effect on his site rankings.

My thoughts are that Google will probably want to take a look at his site and he may see a wobble or even be sandboxed for a few days. But seeing everything is genuine content i.e. nothing is being added in order to dupe Google he should be alright.

However I wanted to ask my colleagues up here on Warrior Forum their views.

    Keep Categories clear and do not post too many bookmarkings of your site during adding pages...

      He is likely going to dance but I don't think it is going to be detrimental for the health of his site. Does he have an option to drip-feed these products in over time, like with a wordpress scheduling feature? That would be better, would also get the spiders crawling more regularly since he'd be seen as releasing content regularly, not in one batch every few months. And in case that is active, deactivate any auto-pinging plugin or script (that fires everytime a new post is made).

        I agree. Make sure that you do plenty of interlinking for these new pages so they are easy to crawl/navigate.

    I wouldn't worry about uploading all 1,000 pages at one time. Google only crawls small chunks of a site per visit, it will probably take the bots a full month to find all 1k new pages.

    You can easily prove that Google only crawls small chunks of a site per visit by adding a unique text string on every single page of the site then do a search like this:
    • intitle:"unique keyword identifier in all page titles here" site:domain.com

    I use that little trick to keep tabs when I update small batches of internal pages, one search shows me If the bots have found my page updates.
