Sean & his counsel are priceless. He is a recognized marketing/distribution authority who....and this part was important to me.... has also been a funded start-up founder.
Sean gave me feedback on my idea & directed me how to best package it for the audience I seek.
Most impressively, he offered to refer me to 2 startups within his network. Doesn't get better than that!

During my time at Tsavo, Sean not only taught me how to work in a corporate environment, but he taught me several gems on SEO and the importance of personal branding. I highly recommend anyone looking for a consultant or adviser to consider Sean. He really understands what works online and is one of the best talents out there in terms of SEO and Social Media.

Sean is my go to resource for keeping up with what's important and relevant in the social web. Despite the challenges our company faced, the Online Marketing team flourished under his management and developed a vibrant working culture in which humor, liveliness, and dare I say it, swagger seeped into everything they did. He attacked every project head on and often served as the voice of the user, which turned out to be some of the most valuable feedback for the nature of our work. I truly hope I end up working with Sean again in the future because he was easily one of my most favorite people I've ever worked with.

He's willing to step in and help any of his colleagues, even on other teams and with requests outside of his role. Don't hesitate to hire him.

Sean's management style is unassuming yet was very empowering to me and my team. I always felt comfortable coming to Sean with issues, no matter how complex, as he took everything that came to him in stride. In fact, I often noticed people from various departments hovering around his office, waiting to speak to him about issues transpiring within their own department. His easy-going attitude was refreshing, encouraging, and inspiring. Sean is also a true expert in social media. He initiated strategic programs that increased user-engagement, time on site, and the viral-factor, all of which were critical to bringing traffic to the site.

Sean Percival, Partner at 500 Startups answered:

Putting that many new URLs on a new domain in the system may trigger a manual review. I would probably start putting 50K at a time over the course of 1-3 months.

Also best way to get those deeper URLs indexed are:

1) Setup the XML sitemap in webmaster tools.
2) Setup easy to crawl HTML sitemaps. Web pages with ~100 links per page that are easy to crawl and navigate through pagination.
