Will frequently adding and frequently removing pages from my site hinder any SEO?

Hi Guys,

Just looking through our crawl diagnositcs and we have a ton errors, well over 5000 actually, on 404 pages that cannot be accessed.

Our website runs a lot of "Hot Offers" that are time bound, so they expire at the end of each month and we remove the page via our CMS.

It's making the crawl diagnositcs loook bad, but will this be hindering our seo and Google 'stuff' because they are finding thousands of 404 errors?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

No not just for having 404’s but you could be using these pages a lot better,

Lets say you have an offer and someone links to tat page, then you delete it, you have wasted a link. You are better off to re-use the page, so if any one links to it helps your next offer rank

Thanks for the advice Alan.

Good idea.

If we had an offer page with a url of say /ford-mondeo-from-6995, i could just rename it to /ford-mondeo-offer so that the new offer overwrites the old page. See what you mean.

Cheers.

then your link to  /ford-mondeo-from-6995 would no longer exist

call the page /offers.

one link will offset the advanatge of the keyword in the url
