Default Free Traffic and Content

I have got loads of content on my site but google is indexing my homepage, contact us and about us page only for some reason. How can I get all my pages to get indexed? Do I need a sitemap?

Does it mean the more content the better? I'm building my site with original content that I am writing myself so I'm writing about 10 articles a day. I'm planning to hit the 1000s page website. Does this work in my favour eventually with google in terms of free traffic?

Thank You

I think you should definitely have a sitemap, but if your site is new it's perfectly normal for only a few pages to show up at first. Just keep building and all your pages will eventually get found.

10 articles a day?

That's awesome, Hustlehard! Keep it up!

Lisa,

Thanx for that piece of advice. It's a piece of advice but it helps so much.

Cheers

ssmorgan,

Cheers for that one. Just have to keep it going. I'm just going to ask you a quick one. For instance I build a 1000+ page website with original useful content. Does this work in my favour eventually with the search engines in terms of free traffic? I'm trying to do it this way instead of SEO. Does this option work or I'm on the wrong planet?

Cheers,

Are all the articles about the same topic?

I think it would be better if you are working on 10 different websites with 100 related articles in each website, instead of one site with 1000 articles about 100 different topics. Does this make sense?

Also, if you are targeting each article to a specific keyword, in essence, you are doing SEO.

Final note, I have heard/read somewhere that the Google spiders have a hard time following/indexing sites when they get too big (more than 250 or 300 pages of content). Not 100% sure about this, though.
