How Does Website Size Affect Search Rankings?
This blog entry was posted on October 28, 2009.
Larger websites with a focused topic plan and content filled pages tend to have much better search rankings than smaller websites. But there is much more to rankings than just the size of a website. Getting links from other websites is important in getting Google to actually index your website.
Search engines do love content, but is important to create a focused plan for your website and then follow up with linking strategies to obtain links from relevant websites. Search engines index text content, so highly graphical sites with little text will have a poor search engine presence.
Planning: Start by creating a master plan for your website. Look at your objectives and audience for your website and create a content plan that will appeal to your targeted visitor. Select keywords around your content plan and use these as a guide in planning the link structure and logical sections of your website.
Focus: Simply adding more pages to a website will not improve search engine rankings. It takes planning and organizing a website into focused topics around a focused relevant theme. Original content that follows the website plan signals the search engines what subject a website is about. Websites tightly focused on a topic do better with search rankings than websites that ramble over many diverse subjects.
Incoming Links: Obtaining links from relevant websites is important to encourage indexing of your website’s pages. Adding great content, articles, press releases, FAQ or a blog to your website can help attract inbound links.
