Adding a whole lot of new content - how safe is it?

[kellyman]

Hi

Just looking for a bit of advice, i have a car website with around 3600 pages 2700 indexed, i am in the process of creating a lot of unique content which will draw on every manufacturer and derivative for the UK car market show running costs, an a average year, including Tax costs insurance, petrol and many other useful motoring things

this content will generate around 25k pages, the last thing i want to happen is to get slapped or penalized by the search engines

How fast should i release this content, would doing it in 1 phase damage me do you have any suggestions?

For the pages so far the similarity between pages is quite good as if for instance 1 manufacturer has a model with 14 derivatives from a 1.2 engine to 2.0, once you bring in all the tax options and insurance options they are very different indeed,

Basically i want to be different to all the others in my Niche and making this site as informative as possible is my goal

Thanks for reading

Personally I would not want to roll out 25,000 new pages,but assuming there all unique it shouldnt have any negative effects.

What I would think about is, 25k is going to take quite a while to index, you have no idea of "how well" its going to
rank/work.

I would roll out a couple of sections wait for them to get indexed and then re-evaluate the situation. Potential SEO problems could be identified and addressed. could save you some time if you need to make changes.

You would alsobe able to see how visitors interacted with the new content and make changes accordingly.

You should make sure that you have good internal and external linking.

I've unloaded 5-10K of pages of unique content all at once, no problems.

I recently uploaded 20-40k of pages on a brand new domain (I"m not done uploading yet) and haven't had any problems. Though since it's a new domain I don't know what problems I would have. Google's indexing it slowly.

Thanks Guys

Many thanks for posting the link Goodroi, and fixing it Tedster

Well im very confident the Structure and the content of these pages is of a high quality and, and very informative for the end user

My only conern would be that although all the pages have different content, how will the search engines view the data from the same manufacturer, for the same car with differnt attribute Like the lileage out put would be different on a 1.4 compared to a 2.0 engine, it is kind of template text with the different varibles added, includiong some very clever word switching pulling data from over 10,000 fields but only using 9-10of those fields for each page

I may as some one suggested above launch 1,000 pages to see how it flows, and if all ok launch the rest

Seems like i have a plan now
