I have a fairly tricky question. Firstly, the video makes a lot of sense to me, where you stress on the point that ‘Content’ is what everyone should concentrate on rather than worrying about the SEO factors to a major extent. That coupled with SEO does great for websites.

Let’s suppose I have a website, which has around 5000 pages indexed currently ( these pages are island pages, not included as part of main websites navigation ), which drives around 500 visitors. I have more content in my database, which is segregated using different sources. Lets say this information is minute details about electronic products, which is not available to public in electronic medium format and I have sole rights to publish them at my will. Assuming I have information of a million products, I pull the data from the database, and create about a million pages ( one page per product ).

My queries are :
1> Will Google index all the million pages? If so how long would the process take? Here the assumption is that all the data is unique and sitemap is submitted to Google once the pages are generated and uploaded to the server.

2> Assuming Google takes ‘X’ amount of time to index all the pages, will the indexed million pages increase the popularity of the site ?

3> Also, I’m curious to know if increase in indexed pages results in, increase in organic traffic.

Thanks in advance for your answers,

But IMO you should have been reprimanded by your seniors… Why? Glad you asked.. Apparently I’m the only one (here) who thinks outside the box. Although your response to the bribe was very much what you/g would want folks to believe, it’s far from reality… not to mention lacking all the qualities, you told them you had when you applied for the job. You see, a real “go getter” would have told the gentle man with the brief case. That he would “be Glad to set him up with a Adwords Account Professional. Who would in-turn be glad to take his cash and would also be more then happy to put his site at the #1 spot on the right side of the screen of the search results”… You get the picture…

Furthermore, companies have Bribed/bought/obtained the #1 ranking with boat loads of cash for years. Companies like Target and ebay have secured #1 position no matter what you search for. For God sakes Matt it’s what google was built on. The Almighty advertising dollar. So, although the the video was great for SEO PR it was the furtherest thing from the truth that I have seen from G yet… I wont even go into what $500,000 would do in the right SEO hands… So, ahh…. Yes you can buy #1 ranking and it has been done for years… Prove me wrong…….

Disclaimer: No human, animal or search engine was injured in the making of this comment. So please dont track me down and kill my PR, remove me from the listings and have me living in a card board box. It’s a shame that many SEO’s feel this way about speaking out when it comes to G but we really do feel this way…

Thanks!

I thought this was great so I geo-targeted a sub domain of a large site that is Canada specific but hosted in the US. However even though it’s been crawled since I did that when i query the site with ‘pages from Canada’ radio button on it still doesn’t show.

Have I missed something out. does the geo-targeting not work the way I thought it did.

any help gratefully received

Cheers,

Simon

Happy Holidays.

But I made lemonade out of lemons by replacing the hacker’s affiliate ID with my own (just kidding!

I’m giving b2evolution a spin as my new blog platform; it’s a lot more secure than WordPress and should hopefully hold up against future attacks. (Don’t worry, I’m still a big fan of WordPress; but I’m now also a big fan of b2evo.)

Quick note to say thanks for reading my recent tale of domain name theft. I appreciate you taking the time.

Today, GoDaddy transferred davidairey.com into an account I set up with them, so that’s great news.

What I’m now concerned about is losing the search rankings I had for the .com whilst using the .co.uk, but I’m hoping some of my readers will help me out with that.

I hope you have a great new year.
