Can I post 10k products on my ecommerce website with similar descriptions? Or it would be penalized?

Since Google is very strict with blog posts, I'd like to know if my ecommerce website could be potentially affected by those updates from Google. Or if it's something different and I can throw a bunch of products with similar descriptions without facing major issues

when it comes to descriptions for propducts, think of it this way, google will know that products written by ecommerce platforms will be similar to others. after all there isn't millions of ways to write a small description about the same product such as dewalt powerdrill.

Using similar or identical descriptions for a large number of products on your eCommerce website can lead to potential issues, particularly in terms of search engine optimization (SEO) and user experience.

There will be no problem at all.

Funny thing, I stole 3 of my competitors product description, made some SEO on website, throw their description on gpt with prompt for seo and put the description on my product page.

I'm ranking 1st on the majority of the products I stole descriptions lol

Anyways, just because it looks like you're creating 10k products at once, be patient when creating products, or create every product without having search console first. I created my search console with over 20 products, and added +50 in 1 month almost.

Sure! When it comes to SEO, using very similar descriptions for many products could cause some issues with Google, even if it's for an e-commerce site. If the descriptions are too identical, Google might not look too favorably on it and could penalize you.

A good practice would be to try to personalize at least part of the description for each product, maybe by adding unique details that make them stand out. This not only helps with SEO but also improves the user experience. So, try to avoid too much duplicate content!
