High-volume profile indexing on large-scale sites

Hi all,

I've got a bit of a doozy for ya—hope someone can help!

I'm doing freelance SEO content work for a client whose site includes thousands of profiles, only some of which are indexed. That makes sense to me, given that there's not really enough content on each one for Google to see them as index-worthy; as such, most of them get the "Discovered—not currently indexed" error.

There are too many profiles to try and request indexing one-by-one, so I think I've figured out a workaround—I just don't know how exactly to do it.

Basically, when you search someone’s name in Google with the modifier “LinkedIn”, the LinkedIn results include indexed profiles, as well as a result that says "100+ {Name} Profiles". I assume this is because LI hasn't indexed all the thousands/millions of profiles on their site. When you click on that link, it goes straight to the LinkedIn search page, with the name search already executed.

I have a hard time believing that LinkedIn individually indexes different name-search pages one by one, so I'm guessing they've found some sort of way to get their search page to dynamically execute a search when someone Googles a name that exists on LinkedIn. Does have any idea whatsoever how they're able to do that?

Really, really appreciate everyone's help in advance—I've included screenshots for context as well!

 

Gotcha; thanks so much!
