Many New Urls at once

[viatrading1]

Hi,

I have about 5,000 new URLs to publish.

For SEO/Google - Should I publish them gradually, or all at once is fine?

*By the way - all these URLs were already indexed in the past, but then redirected.

If these pages have good and substantive content then toss them up immediately.  Time is money, get them up there.

If these pages have thin and trivial content then don't publish them until you have something good.

*By the way - all these URLs were already indexed in the past, but then redirected.

Why were they redirected?  What makes them bad pages then and good pages today???

Hi Egol,

Thanks your for your reply.

I was afraid that publishing many pages at once might be penalize somehow by Google, and also I understand Google prefers to have new content published regularly. But if it's of no use - can publish at once.

These pages were redirected because they were a product page, and the product was not available anymore. Instead of redirecting, now we will begin to just add a message saying "This product is not available at the time". Might be more SEO-friendly...

Matt Cutts did a video in March 2014 that talks about this type of situation.

Thanks Egol,

I guess our best bet on showing unavailable products would be to focus on related products.

Cheers,
