I have been writing atricles for over a decade and I have seen that the search engines, specifically Google may not index large pages. It seems that pages over 2.0 kb per size are less likely to be indexed as shorter pages would be.
according to matt cutts: If a page used to have more than 100KB page size, then Google might not index the page or will index the page only partially.
Google's specification about page size is that it must be less than 100 KB. It's not true that pages with size as low as 2.0 KB doesn't get indexed or get less preference over shorter pages.
I have been following Matt's blog for years. I believe you wre both referring to http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/how-many-links-per-page/. What I was actually talking about was very small pages being favoured by the serach engines. as opposed to pages even 2k in size.
That is not true. I have Google have index my blog post that were more than 100 Ms word pages! want some proof? check this out this blog post: http://free-article-center.blogspot.com/2009/03/sms-marketing-for-mainland-china-study_19.html and this one http://free-article-center.blogspot.com/2009/03/entrepreneurship-and-microfinance-tool.html very long post but they were all index with no problem. i didn't even need to ping them or submit them. they were found by the spiders and indexed! I taught so before, but after this experience i am now thinking otherwise
is that true?? I have a site with only 5 pages but still I am not getting good page views, any one have suggestion for me??
Getting page views is dependent on traffic to your site and not on pages getting indexed. (Of course you need pages to be indexed for that but vice-versa is not true!) You should try to market and promote your site well to get good traffic and hence more pageviews.
He said it's not likely. He didn't say it would not be indexed... It's logical for google to favour smaller pages; it puts a strain on the indexing software having to analyse larger amounts of data. Think of how many websites must be crawled and their sizes.
Yes, but it IS funny. You said:- Which is nonsense. Google indexes pages that are hundreds of k long without trouble. You seem to be getting confused between the process of indexing a page and ranking it. Probably best to read up a bit before you post again!
yes,Google doesn't like long pages.The only way to solve this kind of issue is to have separate pages for each product or services so that we can target more keywords and target those products or services very easily
My main page is about 180k and it is indexed by Google. Once I get through condensing it, it will still be over 100k and I don't expect Google to forget it.
