they don't think about under which conditions a huge number of pages could arise.

Actually they do, that’s really the issue at hand. At almost 30 million pages, pre-launch no less, your talking about something that had to be auto generated. The challenge with that method is getting each page to pass the sniff test of being unique. So, that means adding and adding variables to the script such as the title, H1, meta descriptions, targeted key word plopped here and there in the body surrounded by text that doesn’t read like a third grader wrote it. If you can do that, next up your going to need some SERIOUS Page Rank just to get it crawled.

Your site may well be a great model and your onto to something great. But as far as the singular question;

My question is, how long do you think it would take Google to spider the entire site and get them into their index?

The answer is literally forever IMHO if the site was auto generated using some sort of script. It won’t have enough links to keep the bot drilling into it; it won’t have enough PR to keep it from drowning in the supplemental hell, and it won’t get by the sniff test for uniqueness. It’s just not going to happen; bad news I know but its better to change how your going to launch something that’s obviously very important to you, than to just plow forward with a plan that Google has gone to great lengths to prevent.

Good luck and let us know what happens.
