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!

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

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.

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

Could multiple languagues on one site be bad for SEO???
Our site is has content in English and in Spanish. The spanish side was translated by me, Spanish is my first language, so i know that the translations are good and its original content. We were Pandalized/Penguinnized pretty bad earlier this year. We have completely cleaned our site of anything that could be considered thin content or grey hat techniques. An associate is telling me that we need to put the spanish version of the site on its own domain, does this make sense to anyone? The spanish side of the site gets only about 5% of the visitors, bu i still don't see the logic in taking all those pages and putting them on a different domain. Would this help recover from Panda/Penguin. Thanks

50+ duplicate content pages - Do we remove them all or 301?
We are working on a site that has 50+ pages that all have duplicate content (1 for each state, pretty much). Should we 301 all 50 of the URLs to one URL or should we just completely get rid of all the pages? Are there any steps to take when completely removing pages completely? (submit sitemap to google webmaster tools, etc) thanks!
