Overall Site Size

 

What is 'Domain Page Count' and how does it affect your site.

 

 

Domain Page Count is the total .extension pages within your site and ALL pages inside folders

 

If your web site has ten (10) pages that end with .html, your page count is ten (10).

If your web site has five (5) pages that end with .html, four (4) that end with .php, your page count is nine (9).

If your web site has one hundred (100) .html, two hundred (200) .php, three hundred (300) .htm files, then your 'Domain Page Count' = 600 pages.

How do I use This?

The total quantity of pages inside your site is not important unless... each page is different and contains unique content.

The total quantity of pages inside your site is not important unless... you build internal rank within your domain that spreads links across the pages.

The total amount of pages is important if... each web page design has meaning.

Domain Page Count does not include pages published inside Sub Domains.

How does Page Count affect my site?

Both large and small sites can benefit or lose from page count. Small sites can obtain one high individual page rank by limiting the spread of information across a small number of pages and highlighting a main page of importance.

Large sites may lose some page rank on 'lesser' pages, but gain higher page rank on some pages compared to small sites.

Tips: If you have a smaller site, ensure that your internal hyperlinks promote one page with dominance (not two). Make sure this page is very relevant and proportionally keyword orientated for your site.

Tips: If you have a larger site, ensure that 14% of pages are internally hyperlinked to promote better page ranks for those pages that your consider most important and are high entry pages. Use your gained web statistic knowledge to locate the highest entry pages, rewrite the paragraphs for more SEO and ensure that the links within those 'high' ranked pages also lead to second level pages that are next in line for page rank.'

Database Produced Pages

Example:

This is indexed http://www.australiasigns.com.au/qsonline/products.php?cat=23 This is not http://www.australiasigns.com.au/qsonline/proddetail.php?prod=3-Layer-Laser-Acrylic&cat=23
