Does the number of site pages help in SEO?

2d0k · 08-13-2009, 07:59 AM

is it right to say that the more webpages you have, the more "optimized" will be your site in terms of SEO?

quality > quantity.

The answer lies in how many of those pages are unique. If you have a site with 1,000 pages and all 1,000 pages are unique by the search engines' definition of unique then great. However, if that same 1,000 page web site only has 100 unique pages of content and the other 900 pages are similar, then the answer is no.

The key is understanding what a search engine considers to be unique content. It's quite simple actually, but here are the most important factors of each page that should be unique.

Title
Meta-Description
Meta-Keywords (Bing & Yahoo! index this but Google does not)
H1 (heading tag)
Body (visible text contained within the opening and closing body tags of your html source code)
Link text (all of the links on each page should not be identical)

And that's it. So if every page you add to your site is not the same as any other page on your site then you are good to go and the more pages you add, the better chance you'll have of getting organic search traffic.

One Caveat
If the content you put on your site is found on another site on the web then all bets are off. My response "assumes" you are putting up original / unique content and that it's not already been indexed by Google on another web site.

Make sure your site is well designed so that all the content can get indexed.

Do some keyword research and spread those out in how you create content.

of course,the more the page the more the page rating but quality also important.

The main thing is the quality of the content. But as to make sure that you are providing the latest, correct and quality information to your users, that is why, I think that the number or quantity of pages/content is also important. You will have to update content in your site so that users can get the latest info.

2000 copies or near replicas of your homepage will do nothing for your SE ranking.

However, many different pages are great and will each add a bit of PR to your home page.
Furthemore, I see some advantage into separately SEO'ing the next levels pages, such as yourdomain.com/consolidated-loans, rather than JUST concentrating on the home page.

how would it affect the site if your sub-domain pages are more optimized than yopur home page? is it more important to optimized first the home page or each of the pages will be given equal pagerank if optimized properly?

thebond · 08-17-2009, 08:15 PM

the number of site pages help if it include original content which are valuable to your users.

Then your home page will have a greater PR. I never saw a website that has an inner page with more PR than the home page.

But with respect to the first question I just have to say that with more (huge) content your probability of get better serps is very high.

kimkiroo · 08-19-2009, 02:16 AM

Yes. But you must do a unique and different Meta description and title each pages.
