Adding To Existing Pages Vs. Adding New Pages - 9/27/2006 21:08:20
For SE purposes, is it better to add content to existing pages or add new pages? I have content that I want to add (after refreshing existing content) but I'm debating whether it is better to add to existing pages or add new pages. After implementing robot.txt files I'll have 7 pages (Home, Garments , Order, FAQ'S, Emb Designs, News & Site Map that will be spiderable. Three of those pages may already be too long so I'm guessing that I shouldn't add to those. I can easily add 1-2 pages without having a problem but my concern is if I add additional pages those pages won't be as visible to human visitors. I want to maintain clarity but have a content rich site. The site is www.sunembroideryscreenprinting.com. Thanks.

I concur.
I routinely analyze my log files to see what SEs are giving me users and what "keyword phrases" they are coming in on. When I see spikes in content pages I create more content on that particular sub genre/topic. This, IMHO, gives people more of what they come to me for. Hopefully this draws users back as repeat users. It also helps boost me higher for said "keyword phrase" as I then have even more supporting content for the SE to spider.
I also believe it is still 500 words also.
Take care,
Brian

Is it 500 "words" or "characters"? Are spaces counted? Thanks.

I always read words but I could be mistaken.
Take care,

I'm very pleased with my combination of popups and drop down menus w/links. It allows me to add lots of pages but have tons of stuff for perusal on the index. See Communication Skills Tutorial for Managers

I have a webpage with 500+ words. I just checked Google for a phrase that's at the very bottom of the page (and is not anything people would search for anyway). Google found it - so I reckon it looks at the entire page...

It does but the weight for the SERP result diminishes.
Take care,
