Hi, A Lot of us know that Google loves sites that grow steadily over time. I have plenty of great keyword rich text to add to my site, but wonder the best way to do this. If I add one page a day with about 2000 words, for 1000 days, I am sure this will be good for my site. Does anyone know if any benefit can be gained by taking each page that has several <H2> elements and creating a new page for each <H2> with the related text moved to this new page, which would give me about 8 to 10 new extra pages, for every existing 'main' page? So really it's about reorganizing my site and splitting up the pages. Do you think this is worth the effort? Will Google love this? Thanks Sane
Make sure that your users would not be Inconvenienced by spliting up the pages. They should be your priority. You appear to have a huge number of pages already so im not sure if its worth the hassle fo making even more.
Vigor, you're right, I do have a lot of pages. One of my competitors has over 6000 pages so I guess I'm also wondering how important site size is to Google.
Well, large pages attract a different kind of visitor/ link. I personally try to keep all pages under 20k. That way it loads pretty quickly on any computer and visitors get a decent amount of information in one go. Beyond that, splitting up becomes the better option, IMO. Site size is probably measured by google in a lot of ways: - amount of pages - amount of links to the site as a whole - amount of links/page (averaged out) - amount of kb etc. For the third one less pages (or bigger pages) would actually be better. Go with what's best for your visitors, is what I'd say.
