Longer pages or more pages?
 

Do you think it matters if a page is longer with more content and less pages, or if it is a shorter page, less content on each page and spread across more pages?

interesting question.. plus your blog looks very nice

Some long (by that i mean, every thing that IS, is on *some* long), but, THEN, a name (and a link) for *everything* -- on some shorter page(s) -- :)

More pages.

You think?

Has anyone ever done testing to see how long a member attention span is when it comes to clicking links? Meaning that a surfer gets board (or more turned on) by clicking at least X amount of times?

I know anytime I add pages between the surfer and a signup page less and less people get there. No idea on other types of sites.

make sure the surfer has to click as little as possible to join up.

Interesting question indeed. And a bump.

Thats certainly been my experience.

I think 300-500 words of text per page is normal

I remember reading on one of the SE boards about a girl that counted the words on the top SE results and I think that was more or less the length of the text on their pages (please correct me if I'm wrong)

more pages, no question about it

okay, guess I misunderstood the question. Are we talking about a site for SEO purposes, or a tour?

Or even a "sticky" type of site (some blogs) I would use more pages.

This is where I'm picturing his question in relation to the inside/memberarea of a site.

If that is the case, still more is better imo, to give them a feel of a deeper more content laden site. However, don't make it tough to navigate by any means.

However, bottom line is, get surfer to the hot spantastic material as fast as possible, don't jerk them around, let them do that themselves.

:pimp

More pages but make sure your pages do have some text. Not 2 or 3 words etc etc

:thumbsup :thumbsup

i would go for less pages...
the average surfer is too lazy to click through page2, page3...
i would say one first page (not too long) and an "archive" page...

search engines say more is better . . . . nuff said

If blog = More pages

If Paysite = less pages

Comprende?

I would say more pages gives the impression of a more comprehensive site, but make sure you give them shortcuts to the goods (join page) everywhere you can.

Google's threshold is about +/- 300 words per page ....

so if you make a page 2000 words, only your first 300 count ...

Wow, what a mix of answers.

I should have been more clear, I was talking about a paysite tour. I have always done 3 - 4 pages in the past but now am thinking if it would be better to do less but have longer pages with more girls per page.

I think 4 models to a page is great...make the site "deep" so the surfer knows there is a lot there.


Just my opinion.

one page

lol, paysite - one page

yep id figure thats right.
