How quickly should I publish a massive backlog of content?
-
Hello experts! I have a query about publishing a backlog of content. Run a quote requesting website for design. When we first built it, I was not well versed in SEO. However today I know a whole lot more, thanks to SEOmoz mostly.
For two years customers have been requesting quotes which are then given to registered designers. The brief provided by the customers is locked away behind a private log in area for designers. There is a ton of unique content there that can't be indexed by Google. Here is my idea:
1. Register a new domain, something like, designjobs.com.au
2. Use Wordpress to publish the briefs submitted by clients.
3. Link each brief to our main website for SEO benefits.
However we have over 1000 quote requests dating back over two years. If I published this all at once would Google treat is as suspicious?
If so, should I alter the dates and have them published one at a time?
-
what type of quotes are they, is it breifs for speicifc jobs and if the word count then I would split it out over a 6 month process on a weekly basis.
Recently we had a client who had internal newsletter content which had never gone on-line we have gone with an above strategy which has worked quite well.
I wouldn't put it on a new domain imo, only if you are worried about the quality, best place would be on a sub folder.

1000 quotes isn't that much, I'd push it out asap.
Please see Matt Cutts from Google response to this same question.
As for your options, I'd certainly try to keep it on the same domain and utilize it on the appropriate pages.

SEM Rush & Duplicate content
Hi SEMRush is flagging these pages as having duplicate content, but we have rel = next etc implemented: https://www.key.co.uk/en/key/brand/bott https://www.key.co.uk/en/key/brand/bott?page=2 Or is it being flagged as they're just really similar pages?

Http vs. https - duplicate content
Hi I have recently come across a new issue on our site, where https & http titles are showing as duplicate. I read https://moz.com/community/q/duplicate-content-and-http-and-https however, am wondering as https is now a ranking factor, blocked this can't be a good thing? We aren't in a position to roll out https everywhere, so what would be the best thing to do next? I thought about implementing canonicals? Thank you

Content Below the Fold
Hi I wondered what the view is on content below the fold? We have the H1, product listings & then some written content under the products - will Google just ignore this? I can't hide it under a tab or put a lot of content above products - so I'm not sure what the other option is? Thank you

When to delete low quality content
If 75% of a site is poor quality, but still accounts for 35% of the traffic to the site, should the content be 404ed? Or, would it be better to move it to a subdomain and set up 301 re-directs? This site was greatly affected by Panda.
