Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks, but that's still very far away from traffic ratio I am seeing between Bing and Google. If my Bing traffic would be 20% or so of my Google traffic, it would make perfect sense.

I am seing 2.5% and am trying to figure out if I am doing something wrong, or Bing is simply a failure and I should stop thinking about it.

According to http://mashable.com/2011/04/11/bing-search-growth/, Bing has almost half the market share compared to Google.

Yet Bing organic traffic on my main site is exactly 2.8% of Google organic traffic. Is there some low-hanging fruit I am missing or do you guys have the same results as me?

Hi Anthony,

thanks for your answer. Sorry, but this is a duplicate question. After I posted it first time, SEOmoz still reported I didn't post any questions, ever. So I went ahead and typed it again. Your answer is valuable, so I will mark it as a good answer.

My main product is database conversion software. As it supports tons of databases, it's fairly easy to generate thousands of landing pages simply by variating source/target database names, connection information etc. In fact, I autogenerated almost 25k pages that way.

As I didn't want to jeopardize my main site, I placed all that content to a new microsite (www.fullconvert.com) which had no history and no inbound links. Results were nice - site is live two months and in second month already had 1300 visitors.

Now, my question is - should I create the same thing on my (old and rather authoritative) main site www.spectralcore.com? I could use a different template to avoid duplicate content. Of course, my main concern is being penalized by Google.

In my opinion, this autogenerated content is fine because it provides (tons of) laser-focused landing pages, so visitors will instantly recognize they found what they're looking for. But Google might disagree!

What do you think? Is there a danger in trying to leverage authority of my main site in adding 20k+ autogenerated pages with inbound no links to them?

My main product is database conversion software. As we support tons of databases, it's pretty easy to generate thousands of pages simply by creating a template and changing source/target database name, some information on how to connect etc.

Of course, getting links to that many autogenerated pages is close to impossible.

So, not wanting to endanger my main site (http://www.spectralcore.com) I created a separate site (minisite) for this product alone (http://www.fullconvert.com). In two months this new site is live, it got to the point of having over 1k visitors per month. That's for a site with no inbound links or history.

Now, my question is - should I create equivalent thing on my main site, with different template to avoid duplicate content - and leverage history and authority - or Google can get me penalized for this practice.

I don't think 25k generated pages are a bad thing, they simply provide for tons of highly targeted landing pages. Am I wrong?
