Can You Have Too Much Content On Your Website?

Content is King, as people will always tell you. But is there a situation where you can have too much content? Certainly Google is indicating this might be the case with their “Supplemental Index.” If they determine that a page isn’t worth of inclusion in their main index, they’ll push it into the supplemental. If your website has too many pages in the Supplemental Index, it appears that it might even poison the overall health of the website.

It’s up to you, as the webmaster, do decide how much content you’ll have

In the end, you have to determine whether you want the content or not. But Google gets to judge whether it’s included in their index or not. So if it’s imperative to you that the content gets indexed in Google, you might have to make special arrangements to get the pages in.

The more pages you have to be indexed, the higher your Real PageRank has to be. If you have thousands of pages contained in a sub-directory, that sub-directory will need sufficient “link juice” to get spidered. It’s as simple as that. The pages may end up in the real index, but it’s up to you to ensure it happens.

If you’re having real troubles getting individual pages indexed, you can always try optimizing the pages that are indexed for more words. This may or not be a sufficient solution.
