... to bring in, say, 5000 unique visitors? I'm trying to up my search engine traffic. Will adding more pages to my site do it? Thank you.
Well, more pages, means more content and variations and strings of keywords, which can equal long tail search terms. But you could have 5 pages and get 5000 uniques a day. It just depends on your marketing efforts, keywords your targeting, pretty much everything else you didn't state. Basically though, just build as many pages as you can on the topic. Outsource and use different types of automation to help the process.
Eh more pages only helps when you have a STRONG site from which a single homepage back link will get you ranking for the term... IE digitalpoint forums... if you have a site thats not strong enough you could have practically a gazillion pages and still get crap traffic.
More pages is really just a goog way to keep visitors coming back to read more information. In theory, this would increase you traffic because you will have your new visitors and they will keep coming back and you still have the old visitors that keep coming back. As long as you keep your marketing strategies going and you keep creating new content you will keep getting spidered. use SEO tactics that will increase your ranking for the key words you want and create more pages with the same topics and link them all together using good inner site SEO.
