Hi All,
My question:
If someone to launch a brand new ecommerce site and has 100,000 products to launch. At what rate the products be added. The reason I ask is all 100,000 products are load in one day then google will ban the site seeing so many new pages in such a short time.

Also the products will keep on changing. so on a give day 4-5k products may need to be deleted. will google like that?

Thanks

not sure where you got that info from, or why you think Google is going to find and attack all 100,000 at once. But anyway, I'd put all 100,000 out there immediately and if you don't want them all indexed, do a robots.txt to exlude Google from certain categories.

on a give day 4-5k products may need to be deleted. will google like that?
No. Well, I can't speak for Google but as a user I don't like it. It's the ebay curse...click on a SERP to find that the item is no longer there...the epitome of the irrelevant result. Bad for me, bad for Google, and probably bad for your rankings. Best to just keep G out of the categories where you expect high turnover. But that's just my opinion.

one of my site got de-indexed just because pages were added too fast.

Google told you that? I don't doubt it, I've just never heard that one before...

Are you sure you need 100K different products? I have seen merchants, not utilizing various features of their e-commerce packages and end up with redundant pages pretty much. For instance you can setup various options for a product. (t-shirt black, red, yellow etc). It's easier for the customers to find and easier for the spiders to index content this way. And easier for the merchant to manage the content.

Is that an assumption or were you told that by a SE employee?
