Google SEO - safe number of pages?

That makes no sense for G to do that. But then again, they haven't made sense for years.

Wow - you're heading in the wrong direction

There's no strict limit on the number of pages you can submit for indexing in Google Search Console, but submitting too many pages rapidly might lead to issues with crawl budget and indexing speed, rather than a direct penalty

for the record to those who dont know what that means

Google has a limited crawl budget for each website, which determines how often and how many pages it can crawl. For indexing speed - Rapidly submitting a large number of pages can overwhelm Google's indexing capabilities, potentially slowing down the indexing process for all pages.

There are so many other things to consider that I'm leaving out but based on the images you've shown - there are more important problems you may have there.

Take a look at this page and I hope it helps

I have been doing SEO for ~7 years and am not new enough to not notice other problems/reasons for the Google hit I may have.

I am not forcing indexation - leaving it to be decided by Google.

So the problem - 10 sites running on the same cam aggregator. 3 of them survived updates as they are 3-4 years old. The rest (more fresh) sites got hit in the same way I posted in the first post.

Has anyone made a fresh site recently on cam aggregator without a "noindex" tag on the model pages and running it without problems with tens of thousands of model pages on the site?

What makes you think the pages caused this?
I think there are a few factors that can result in this happening

Understand - but I've been doing SEO for 32 years so just trying to help here.

there is a possibliity that it could be one of the following


Age and Authority: Older sites may have more trust and authority in Google's eyes, benefiting from more established backlink profiles and better user behavior signals.

Sandbox Effect: Google sometimes applies a "sandbox" filter to newer sites, limiting their visibility until they prove their credibility over time.

Historical Performance: Sites with consistent engagement and content updates tend to survive updates.

you solve that by focus on increasing site authority through high-quality backlinks and partnerships also to create consistent, valuable content that builds topical authority. Finally Improve user engagement metrics (time on site, bounce rate).

Another problem is the following

Cam aggregator sites are often hit by thin or duplicated content issues.

If the newer sites rely on the same feeds, descriptions, or automated content, Google may devalue them.

Solution:

Rewrite or add unique content to differentiate the new sites. Provide value-added content like user reviews, expert opinions, or guides.Implement canonical tags if duplication is unavoidable

another possiblity

Older sites may have naturally accumulated diverse backlinks, while newer ones may lack authority or have toxic links.

Solution:

Conduct a backlink audit using tools like Ahrefs or SEMrush (one of the few good benefits to those programs) then Disavow any toxic links. Finally start a link-building campaign with niche-specific backlinks.

You could also h ave Indexing and Crawlability problems - and don't forget E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness) Also check Technical Issues such as page speed or structural data errors

Somewhere in all that you may find your answer. I don't have the sites you mention so hard for me to give a qualitative answer.

Quick glance would say that it's duplicate content especially if you're just pulling the same cam feeds that everyone else on earth is.

I think it is more about thin content than duplicate. just saying

There were search engines in 1993?

I didn't get in till 1996.

I am surprised too, but I am sure there is a reasonable explanation.

Regarding the OP's question, it is hard to say anything without knowing the URL. Good luck.

I think the reason for the hit is the number of pages and site age - as 3 old sites with the same structure did not get hit.

As for duplicate content - the script is posting meta title, meta description, H1 with model name variable, and other content is suggested models - I do not think the pages are duplicates from other sites.

So all your sites are running fine, but I am asking again - are they running fine on aggregators on fresh sites?

Also, I do not think you are doing manual unique content for your 50k model pages.

Also, it is not a sandbox - I had tons of sandboxes when you are not ranking from the start of the site for the year(s). If you are ranking and have a huge drop - it is a hit.

And I am not using used domains - tested it a long time ago - it is a miss from the beginning.

Also thin content - other sites are ranking very well without a hit with zero content - model name, several thumbnails.

Without seeing the site itself, it sounds like your using the same content as other aggregators are using so getting hit with thing content / duplicate content.

Maybe you bought some bad back links. Like scrape box, xrumer?

What aggregator are you using on the one that got hit?

Which for the ones that weren't hit?

Hit one is a bit like unlimitedlivecams

I am using Robo for all the sites.
3 sites that weren't hit - 3-4 years old.
The rest 7 sites on the same structure that got hit - up to 1 year old.
I see you got hit in the same way.
How many pages do you let to index for Google and in that time frame?

This is mostly likely a duplicate/thin site content issue.

Unless you're doing something to make each page unique, the problem isn't the AMOUNT of pages you're trying to index, but the content in the pages that is not worth indexing.

It's almost always that the pages are just low quality

The content is unique. The only thing duplicate is embedded iframe of Chaturbate.

I have heard and seen that SEO is dead.....

he's kind of saying it is dead.

I've tried to talk about SEO to you before and it was like talking to a brick wall that time, but... there's at least 2 other guys in here telling you the same thing I'm about to tell you who are at least my equal but likely my betters.. (and you'll notice that none of us ever ASK SEO questions ;))

It's most likely thin / duplicate content. I've got probably 100 cam aggregators live on random domains and sometimes they rank, sometimes they don't and it's usually just 3-4 of them at a time that do. They all have identical content other than the niche ones, of course. I don't focus on them - they're just my way to park all of my cam domains.

This is the nature of the beast when you don't really generate anything useful for users with the website. A cam aggregator doesn't offer any benefit to users for the most part - the few that do, you don't own.

I don't think you know what words mean. When you do, maybe then come back and ask for help.

If you're just using any of the cheap scripts floating around GFY to pull in the stripchat / chaturbate / cambuilder API, then it's thin / duplicate content. Full stop. Period.

i second that. that is by far the best explanation so far!

just to to it: if you are 100% sure there are no crawling issues and no road block - the crawling budget is an elastic category, and only depends on your link portfolio.

to put it simply: the more good links you have, the higher importance your website will have, thus Google will crawl links much faster. big and important websites have higher limits.

from the logical perspective: if your website has too many new pages daily, and (almost) no links, it is normal to think about it as potential spam. again, can't confirm nor deny G algo uses that for ranking. i'm just not excluding it as an option.
