John Mueller in Switzerland asks, "A newspaper company
wants to add an archive with 200,000 pages.
Should they add it all at once or in steps?"
It's a fair question.
I think we can handle it either way, so we should be
able to process it.
But if we see a lot of pages or a lot of things ranking on
a site all of a sudden, then we might take a look at it
from the manual webspam team.
So if it doesn't make any difference whatsoever to you
in terms of the timing of the roll out, I might stage it a
little bit and do it in steps.
That way it's not as if you've suddenly dropped 5 million
pages on the web.
And it's relatively rare to be able to drop hundreds of
thousands of pages on the web and have them
be really high quality.
An archive of a newspaper is a great example of that.
But if it's all the same to you, and it doesn't make that
much of a difference, I might tend to do it more in stages
and do more of a gradual roll out.
And you could still roll them out in large blocks, but just
break that up a little bit.
Hope that helps.
