Is there any problem adding too much contents shortly?

Is there any problem to add huge amount of contents ? In one of articles I have today read that adding large amount content shortly will make suspicious to Google and may bring possible punishment. Interestingly one of my client said yesterday he would be going to add 30k articles in his site.

Will he face any problem is he adds so much articles say within one week?


Thanks

IMO this has nothing to do with SE penalties.

But rather than putting all of the content at once, I'd prefer updating content slowly and regularly so as to keep Google bot visiting my page regularly.

I think regular content doesn’t mean you add 3-4 new pages everyday or you needlessly keep editing your pages. This way you may even end up spoiling what’s already working for you. The best policy is to stick to relevancy and have compelling, linkable content on your website. Even if you write one post in a week and if that post is remarkable and has great linkbait value, I think it worth far more than 4-posts-a-day with no quality post appearing on your website or blog.

I prefer regularly adding article... This will make web pages fresh and Google like updation...

It will also help in drawing attention of G bots and other also as all SE love fresh thing....

My question is whether adding huge amount of articles hurts or not.

Will not hurt. Also it has nothing to do with SERP.

If you add 30k articles Google will still only crawl and index them at its own speed.

Depending on when you post them and where Google is in their crawl order (short and quick or long and deep), they will only "eat" so much before they move on.

It also depends on where in your directory these are located. Keep them top-level if possible.

I agree with the above, I don't think adding a ton of content will hurt, but over-doing it probably won't help either.

note* Be sure to create a new sitemap each time they are added and add a sitemapsfile.xml to your robots.txt file. Keep submitting the sitemap though until google has accessed that file.

Actually in a post from Matt Cutts blog, he stated that he noticed a site had added more than 40 articles in a weekend and to him that was suspicious. He said it would likely be duplicate content copied from someone else site, because it's not natural to type that many articles in a day. I think if the content is original then you have nothing to worry about though.

Well its from the questions they are being asked daily , they are in the business for a long time , hence they have plently of qustions, made articles for their site . So less likely they are duplicate content.
