I am looking to throw up over 100,000 pages of articles (no not easy I know) but I am 9/10 of the way there………………..
Competitor websites have up to a maximum of 2,000 pages will this automatically shoot me top the top if
A.)I have DMOZ, Yahoo directory listings
B.)About 30 other links
C.)Great internal linking and a great site map
D.)Great resources and an excellent newsletter.
E.)I continue to add 1 page a day.
If you have 100,000 pages of great content, Google will index you and you will have top postions. If these are another 100,000 pages of automatically generated content, copied from other sources, link directories or other doubtful pages, you'll have a hard time.
E.)I continue to add 1 page a day.
Just curious, if this is your current speed, how did you succeed creating the first 9/10 of your 100,000?
Then you have to face the current seeming slow down in Google indexing new pages, they are busy doing other things.
Are these pages all static or are they database generated using dynamic urls? Google seems to look at these at an even slower rate than static pages.
Then where you rank will all depend on what else is out there covering the subject.
Oh and it is a page by page thing which is why I said 30 links is a bit shy of what might be needed.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.
Your keyword density is way too high which will throw your new site instantly into the sandbox. More than 3% is too high. 2% is ideal. This comes from experience, not from listening to what others have said.
Over optimization penalties are alive and well.
DMOZ and Yahoo directory listings don't help you much except for the PR and the keywords in your DMOZ title and description.
100,000 articles at one page a day would take about 274 years to write. Sounds like you're either pretty old or you're using articles written by others and using a script to import all the articles onto your pages. This could cause duplicate penalties if you do not make your pages unique.
Back in the day, Large sites would create their own page rank and would rank very well. But these days PR is calculated a little differently.
If your site makes it past googles duplicate content filters and makes it past the over optimization filters you will be doing good.

Cho, man! If that's all on Ja food, you've found a lot of new recipes. Is that a hundred different kinds of red pea soup, and stew beef, and a thousand jerk sauces? ;-)
Best of luck with it, but like the others said, with that many pages, and thirty links, you might be talking a rather thin soup.
Jah guide.

One site of ours still in the sand (obviously) was last cashed by google on 11th Feb with 300 pages. Since then we have worked at adding loads more pages pages to it, none of which have been cashed.
Even the home page which was changed on the 12th Feb with additional links to new sections is still not cashed.
When you search on the domain name it shows the current date next to the listing but when you click on the cashed page its still the 11th Feb.
Is it worth doing a google site map submission?
The DMOZ listing passes page rank to the single page that it links to, not the whole site. Of course you will get traffic from folks who use DMOZ to find things.
Keyword density. Doesn't matter--at least with Google.
