Note this is a question about SEO and better listings and not User Interaction or what will be best for the customer: Does anyone have a view as to weather it is best to have few individual pages and include many products on the single page or have another click and include a separate page for each product? Example: Products on one page: http://needlesports.com/acatalog/Mail_Order_Karabiners_22.html Products on separate page with more info link: http://www.nothingbutpadlocks.com/products/brass-padlocks Obviously user friendliness says one less click is good but then a lot of info on one page does mean scrolling. In terms of SEO is it best to compile info on a single page as on needlessports or to click through to another page as on the padlocks site? Thanks in advance.
Your second option (Products on separate page with more info link is best and many websites have similar structures..
Your second option is good . It helps to categorized the products. All product should have separate page.
As per my suggestion products in different pages according to category is best solution. It help users to get perfect idea and also they can narrow down their selection and get perfect item what they need. Always you keep certain related items beside a single item so you can get chance of selling that too.
