Matt Cutts: No. I think a coming soon page can be pretty smart.
I think it’s good for users so that they don’t just end up on a black hole page that it doesn’t resolve or something like that. If you have some content that’s coming out I don’t think there is any harm from having

Matt Cutts: I wouldn’t jump to conclusions. You know back in the early days of Google we used to truncate out about a hundred kilobytes, and so if you had a “page bloat” back then I could imagine that your content might get snipped off halfway through where you wouldn’t see all of it.
But Google

Matt Cutts: I think the answer is basically zero.
It’s not the size of your website that determines the authority in terms of the number of pages that you have indexed. Instead the authority is typically determined by the links that we see coming into those pages and the links that we see in the PageRank

Matt Cutts: Wow, good question. Not that I am aware of. We will index millions of pages if we think a site is sufficiently good and has a sufficient amount of content.
You are very unlikely to bump up against a limit in our index. It’s purely how useful we think your pages are, which is

Matt Cutts: Well the simplest answer is to get more links.
We can index a page within second, certainly within minutes, if we find, for example, that CNN is linking we’ll crawl that very, very quickly. So we can find new content quite quickly. If you have a blog or something like that we’ll come back

I would pay attention to overdoing it. If your entire page is H1, that looks pretty cruddy right? So don’t do all H1 and then use CSS to make it look like regular text. We see

Matt Cutts: Well, historically, that was a deliberate choice because we didn’t want to index an email address, at least I think it was a deliberate choice. You don’t want somebody scraping Google to find a bunch of email addresses. So it’s kind of nice not to index the @ sign. It depends.
I could imagine

Matt Cutts: Well, way, way back in the dawn of Google it was funny because people would rank in different countries based only on the tld, .fr meant you were French but that’s all that they knew.
Back in 2001-2001 type time frame we started to look at where a server was located, it’s IP address

Matt Cutts: Frankly I wouldn’t worry about it. We see tables, we see CSS, and we have to handle both. We try to score them well no matter what kind of layout mechanism you use.
Frankly I would use what’s best for you. A lot of people these days tend to like CSS because it’s easy
