Hi,
I've got 400,000 pages on my site:
- 200,000 'main' pages with a lot of text information about commercial products
- 200,000 pages, linked from the previous 'main' pages, that show just photos of such products, along with a short description (3-10 words).
Additionally, I decided to set 'noindex' the only-image pages, in order to avoid thin content, crawl budget, etc.
I'm trying to improve the 'profitability' of the only-image pages, and I'm aware about the risk of being labeled as "Insufficient content" by Google ([
support.google.com ]):
Make sure that your pages have sufficient text - sites that contain mostly images, videos or Flash animations may not be approved.
In addition to the short description of the pictures, I have stored extra data, that I'm not currently showing:
- name of the author of the pic
- date when the image was taken
- latitude/longitude of the image
I can expand the text information, with some wording based on the previous data. And I can add a map, as well.
And I've read that AdSense is allowed on noindex pages: [
webmasterworld.com ]
However, I'm not sure about the risk of this operation, with both 'special' issues together in the same pages (low text + noindex).
- May I receive a Google SEO Penalty?
- May I receive a Google AdSense Penalty?
- May the quality/CPC of my ads be damaged?
- Ideas about how to expand the information, with high-quality text?
I look forward to reading other people's experiences. Thank you.
