Does it matter if Pages are not complete

Pages complete

[slk230]

Just wondering about this.

I have been working hard at creating content, content, content.

To do this I use 2 different programs. Word and Dreamweaver.

1. I create the Pages. Title, Headings and meta tags and all the other lovely stuff on the page. Then upload the page to my server to help me make sure all links and things are working.

2. Then I Write document for all the stuff I want on the page. To match the title and headings and such.

3. I paste the text into the page and voila. I then upload a completed page.

Here is where it got a little iffy....

During this process which I usually do about 10 to 20 seperate pages.All of these pages created from links on one page to the sub documents. I got distracted and I hadn't finished this process and was crawled. These docs were in the database but were basically blank except title and headings and format of page. I have since added content, but for a while the pages were not finished and I hoped I hadn't inadvertnly done something wrong.

Does anyone know if this is a problem or just normal part of web development?

I want my site to be as squeaky clean as possible. I just am not always the best at knowing the correct protocol.

I would like your thoughts.

Thanks

It's not a problem. (Other than the fact that they probablly won't rank well with out any content).

While I agree with WebGuerilla that this will not penalize you, I personally would not do this in the manner you describe. I would never upload a webpage until it was ready to publish - meaning that it should be spell checked, link virtue checked, HTML validated, and cross-browser checked before it is ever made available for the public to see.

Dreamweaver should have a spell check.

A free link checker is: home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html

htmlvalidator.com offers freeware to check your code.

These utilities will run on your machine to proof your webpages before you put them on the web. And you can always upload a test-page to check browser compatability as an orphan page that users will not see.

Visitors who open incomplete "under construction" pages are left with a less that good first impression and my never return, so always present your very best.

The wierdest thing is that some of them ranked better last update than they did this update after I added content.

A new page will take "assumed" PR from the rest of your site. Then it drops to it's real PR after an update.
