A good technique I have used for getting my page indexed competitively, is not so much about "how many posts per page" ... but quantity/quality/etc of on-page & off-page factors.

By analyzing the top 10-20 results in the serps for a given niche/keyword... you can tailor your quantity/quality/etc to fall into the same.

There are a ton of tools that will do this for you, personally I use Ranking Spy to evaluate the top competitors for the niche I am targeting... then I format my page to fall into a similar keyword-density/linking layout.

In other words...
  • serp result #1 for "midget shoes" has 20 outbound links & 100 internal links with the term "midget shoes" accounting for 5% of the total on-page word content.
  • While serp result #10 for "midget shoes" has 50 outbound links & 120 internal links with "midget shoes" accounting for 10% of the total on-page word content.

I will use this data to format my sites layout. I will analyze my site with RS having 10 posts per page... then 8 per page.. then 5 .. etc.. etc.. until my site has "midget shoes" accounting for between 5-10% of the on-page word content.

I will also adjust my links accordingly so that I have between 10-50 outbound & 100-120 internal.

With this kind of an evaluation of your page vs. your competitors you can answer the question for yourself.
