How to Index a 1,000 Page Site

How about giving me a Tweet?

First, before you jump on board you must decide Why do you want 1,000 pages linked fast:

1. You need your Long-Tail BackLinked
2. Trying to Establish Niche Keyword Dominance
3. Improving your SERPs

Well these three have been tackled by many of the best and brightest minds in this business.

However, Indexing a really large site has never been tackled to my knowledge.

Let me set this up for you.

What if you had a site that was in very specific niche?
What if you had a 1,000 or more pages of content?
What if that content was unique and not clones of another page?

How would you tackle the issue of getting those pages indexed in a reasonable time period.

Certainly, a natural time growth factor would be the best and with any luck in six months or less that would be attained.

But is it possible to push that envelope just a little bit harder?

I think so.  Let me explain.

To help us we already have several good processes which include Pinging, RSS Feeds, SiteMap.xml and Socializing.

Does it make sense to socialize 1,000 pages or even attempt Pinging them?  Probably not.

However, what if we divided the problem and then attached each grouping.

The Pinging maybe regulated.  I don’t know that for sure but if I were a Search Engine business i ertainly would consider that.

RSS Feeds main benefit is that it shows a slow growth with a public view point.

Socializing is a good idea but a thousand pages is too impracticle.

So that means a blended approach needs to be taken. Sort of a divide and conquer plan.

Do you have a Blog network at your disposal?
Are your 1,000 pages siloed in any way?

Here is what I would do.

Have you ever heard of Pyrimid Schemes?  That is my technique but o a smaller scale.

Let’s say there are 4 silos of 250 pages each.

1. I would ensure cross linking from silo to silo. Just really good on-page optimization.  Meaning I would have this:
Silo 1/Page 1 link to Silo 2/Page 1
Silo 2/page 1 link to Silo 3/Page 1
Silo 3/page 1 link to Silo 4/Page 1
Silo 4/page 1 link to Silo 1/Page 1

This may seem tedious and it is but it will produce great results.

2. Have a RSS feed for each Silo
Since the pages are already build dividing the RSS Feed into four will at least dilute it a little bit.  Maybe even dilute it to 100 per Silo and grow it from there.  I would then submit each feed to a different aggregator each day until all were evenly disbursed.  Then I would go back thru that same path and submit a different sitemap to the Aggregators.  In a Plan like Step 1.

3. Each Silo should have its own Sitemap and Sitemap.xml
If you have not submitted this to Google then you could easily build your SiteMap and SiteMAp.xml manually so as not to appear like an instant site.

4. Outsource or Write yourself 4 primary articles for each silo.
This goes without saying.  Articles are a great source of backlinks. The intent here is to have at least one great article for each Silo.

5. Outsource or re-Write each of those 4 articles an additional 4 times each.
Now here is where it gets interesting.  Each of the articles from Step 4 need to be rewritten four times.  Now the tedium is this.  You need to make sure all paragraphs blend well with the other paragraphs.  Its not hard, you just need to read, re-read and re-read a bunch of times to make sure the transition from paragraph to paragraph makes sense.

6. Submit the all of the original articles which would be 20 articles to ezine and once approved move to the next step.
At this point you will have 20 articles.  Go ahead and submit these articles to ezinearticles.  Also make sure your linking is to the right pages.  One to the domain itself and the other to the first page in each Silo.  Which means each of those first level pages will have 5 backlinks each from ezinearticles.

7. Prepare a spinable file for each silo.
Now while you wait for ezinearticles to approve your twenty articles go ahead and prepare a spinable file for each Silo.  So you will have four spinable files.

8. At this point I would Spin out a few articles just for submitting manually to other article directories.
At the very least use the same linking or BIO box from ezinearticles for these as well.  IF you want to have your ezinearticles to rank a bit higher then I would replace one of the links in the BIO box to point to the Article over at ezinearticle.  The reason is this, most of the time when an ezinearticle shows up on the front page it is because of ezines PR strength and many times there are no backlinks.  But if yours has more backlinks than one that does not then yours could very well end up beating the other one.

9. Map out your text links so that you can make those spinable too to as to spread out a blanket effect for the entire site. I would build groupings of 10
This is why we divide the 1,00 pages into four groups.  250 appear to be more manageable and not so daunting.

The object here is to produce two sets of ten links.  The ten links is for each Silo.  I used two because most blog networks only allow two links per submission.

You will spend more time on this step than any other simply because this needs to be laid out in such a way that when the articles are spread out over the network you will have a considerable amount of links on a lot of blogs.

10. Take each spinable file and process with a Blog Network once then switch our your next grouping of links and then spin those.
Most sites will allow you to govern how many spins you want executed.  Process your link groupings in groups of 40 executions.

Once you are done.  You are done.

This will produce a blanket of most of the pages. Once the spidering starts on these pages it will spread and eventually cover the missing pages from the Blog network.

As always, I welcome your comments and thoughts.

Good Luck.
