6) Number of Pages
The number of pages in your website is the most
overlooked feature in placement. People continuously
build 5 pages and wait for traffic. If your website is
under 50 pages the search engine sees it as an ant
climbing a mountain. It will not see you as being
important since the content is limited and most of your
pages are trying to sell something.Think of it as you looking to buy household
items. You can drive 5 minutes from your home and go to 7-11
or wal-mart. You would choose wal-mart because they have
more choices and you know you will get what you want.
The search engine uses the same
thought process, when someone is searching for household
items, they tend to ignore the 7-11's and the 5 page
websites and send people to the wal-marts because they
know it has what the person is looking for. So having
more is always better.
Populating your shopping cart with
hundreds of items is going to greatly improve your chance
of being found. Keep in mind, every page will be indexed,
so having 100 pages rather than 5 is better. It is
similar to buying 100 lottery tickets with 4 billion
possible combinations. Not great odds, but better.
But having 1000 pages that relate
to your content will help you get a strong search ranking
and contribute to the overall results you desire.
