Is it ok to create a spiderable page for each product?

[corvettehunt]

My boss asked me to to this, and we got into a heated argument whether it was "google wise" to do it.

He wants me to create a page for EACH product we have, so that it would be more google friendly, instead of linking each product we sell to a single php page (our current model).

We currently have a PR6. Will that benefit me, or result in banning my site? I have about 4,000 products, so that would turn my site into a 4000+ page site (currently we have about 110 pages listed on google).

These 4000 products, they are not static either. Meaning each week I replace about 100 of them with new ones, the one's replaced are never used again (erased).


Your advice is most welcome,

I'm not sure I get the part about musical products but generally the more unique pages you have the better. You'll also likely be suprised at the overall increase in your traffic for specific products, product numbers etc.

The PR6 thing... seems that you'll have enough link strength to get those new pages spidered rather quickly. Maybe a well designed site map linked sitewide.

Wouldn't Google consider this as spamming it's index?

If Google can't spider these product pages because of sessions or something like that, I would think it would be wise to make a product directory with html pages for each product.

Do you happen to know why the other pages are not being indexed? If it is because of the amount of variables, maybe setup seo friendly urls? Changing the ?'s to /.

How about a link, so we can have a look-see

corvette, no it's not spamming the index. If you have 2000 unique products and can present a unique, or relatively unique page for each it's advisable.

About getting the pages spidered a good site map will do the trick. My experience has been that getting url's with variables cached and ranked if you're sending enough link strength there isn't a problem though they take a long while to show pr.

Tanya, the suggestion to rewrite the URL's would really speed things up though.

Definitely a little faster then building 2000 pages :)

I wasn't referring to the writing of 2000 pages, just removing the variables from the URL of the dynamic pages taking even less time to get cached and make catching PR alot better (if it's a priority).
