Search engines index pages and they rank pages separately from entire sites. The way pages are connected to sites is that they are all linked together (hopefully) using anchor text to hep the inner site SEO. Links are the most important thing to increase ranking of a website for key words. If all the pages in your website are all connected, they will all have links to other pages in the site. This is key to increasing ranking for the website as a whole.

You will be getting traffic from search engines for phrases that you would not think of. It all depends on the title of each page and the key word density of the pages as well as the anchor text linking to them.

 Many pages increases the length of the address of the page which makes it more likely to be indexed in a search that you would not expect it to be indexed for. All of this increases the search engine traffic which means that it is possible that more pages of content can increase your websites traffic as a whole.

Yea, yea again with the page rank. ” page rank has nothing to do with the qulaity of the site.” This may be so, but it does mean something because people want to have links on those sites. Anyway, this is one of the harder problems to fix if you are not a technical webmaster. If your site was created for you and all you are doing is cutting and pasting things into your site then you need to learn more about creating websites.

 If you know a little bit, but not that much, what you can do it add an XML sitemap, which is a map of all the pages of your site. This way all the pages of your site are seen on the home page and page rank can spill into your inner pages.

Page rank is like a score and it will spill over into the other pages of your site like it will into o
