: Is a properly made website with more content has advantage in SEO? Somewhere I was reading about SEO and it was noted that for search engines, it is beneficial if a website has: Many pages

@Twilah146

It's true that number of pages and amount of content counts for Google. But what's more important is to remember about the quality of the content on your website.

As closetnoc states, you need to draw the line.

Google can qualify too little content (I'm assuming under 250 words) as "thin content" and not index it as it offers no value to visitors.

Too much content might cause visitors to back out of the page sooner before seeing the remainder of the content (depending on the visitor's willingness to read novels).

In fact, I tested my homepage on powermapper tools (at try.powermapper.com) and it complained about me having more than 30 paragraphs on my home page (probably because of the large number of paragraph tags separating content).

The point is, try to make your content rich with at least 200 words and that spell out what the user is looking for and run it through a keyword density checker to ensure the most important sets of words are the most dense set of keywords, but don't make it sound unnatural.
