      Does really page size affect the results in search engines? And, what is the maximum in this case?

              It's not the size of the page that matters - it's the speed the page is  downloaded on the user's device that matters (although there is of course a relation between these two). In general people expect a site to load in 2/3 seconds. There is an interesting article about that on the kissmetrics site: https://blog.kissmetrics.com/speed-is-a-killer/ - with a lot of useful resources & links. If you do search here on moz you'll probably find a lot of useful info as well. I think with the increasing focus on mobile, speed will become more important as ranking factor.

              To be more specific on the size, according to this article - the average page size for the top-1000 websites is increasing and was 1600K in July '14. There is a negative correlation between page size & number of visits (no surprise). I would certainly not go above the 1600K (even this number seems already quite high for me)

              rgds,

              Dirk

                About ten years ago I produced a collection of pages that contained definitions of about fifty words and one photo with a short caption.  They pulled in a bit of traffic.  Since then I have been upgrading these pages.  They were initially improved to about 500 words and two or three graphics, then most were  improved to long articles of between 1000 and 2000 words with data tables, photos and graphics.   Each time I have upgraded them their performance has improved.  These improvements have been in rankings and also in traffic.  A fifty word article does not have much keyword diversity but a 2000 word article has lots of different words to pull in long-tail traffic.

                Does size matter?  My answer is a definite YES.

                Does size produce ROI?   That's more difficult to answer.   I can produce 50 words and a photo with caption in under an hour.  Improving that to 500 words might take me a day.  Producing a comprehensive article of 2000 words with eight to ten images and data tables might take three or four days.  The longer your article gets the more research you have to do and the longer that research takes because with length you can be digging into info obscura.  I would not want to improve these to 15,000 words because that would require an awful lot of work, people would not read the entire thing and I don't think that the traffic yield would pay back my time.

                I conclude that I make decent money with the 500 to 2000 word articles (sometimes up to 4000 words for some topics)  and that's what I am sticking with.  If one of these articles is pulling in massive traffic, I often write additional articles on subtopics.  These are great for listing on the page as "additional readings".   They pull in traffic from search and they get additional pageviews from people who are already on the website.

                ADDED:   SEO performance is going to be influenced by visitor engagement and sharing.  Both of those will not happen with low quality content.  So content quality is more important than word count.   I have some pages that consist of a few hundred words and one good image.  One of these pages gets millions of visits per year.  It has nothing to do with length.  The image is great, the content is good, the search volume is massive and this page ranks well.

                  Is page speed important to improve SEO ranking?

                  I saw on a SEO Agency's site (https://burstdgtl.com/search-engine-optimization/) that page speed apparently affects Google ranking. Is this true? And if it is, how do I improve it, do I need an agency?

                  Any idea how Google is doing this? Is it schematic? http://techcrunch.com/2014/02/28/google-adds-full-restaurant-menus-to-its-search-results-pages/

                  Google is now showing menus on select searches.  Any idea how they are getting this information? I would like to make sure my clients get visibility this way.

                  Noindex child pages (whose content is included on parent pages)?

                  I'm sorry if there have been questions close to this before... I've using WordPress less like a blogging platform and more like a CMS for years now... For content management purposes we organize a lot of content around Parent/Child page (and custom-post-type) relationships; the Child pages are included as tabbed content on the Parent page. Should I be noindexing these child pages, since their content is already on the site, in full, on their Parent pages (ie. duplicate content)? Or does it not matter, since the crawlers may not go to all of the tabbed content? None of the pages have shown up in Moz's "High Priority Issues" as duplicate content but it still seems like I'm making the Parent pages suffer needlessly... Anything obvious I'm not taking into consideration? By the by, this is my first post here @ Moz, which I'm loving; this site and the forums are such a great resource! Anyways, thanks in advance!

                  301 redirects from several sub-pages to one sub-page

                  Hi! I have 14 sub-pages i deleted earlier today. But ofcourse Google can still find them, and gives everyone that gives them a go a 404 error. I have come to the understading that this wil hurt the rest of my site, at least as long as Google have them indexed. These sub-pages lies in 3 different folders, and i want to redirect them to a sub-page in a folder number 4. I have already an htaccess file, but i just simply cant get it to work! It is the same file as i use for redirecting trafic from mydomain.no to www.mydomain.no, and i have tried every kind of variation i can think of with the sub-pages. Has anyone perhaps had the same problem before, or for any other reason has the solution, and can help me with how to compose the htaccess file? 🙂 You have to excuse me if i'm using the wrong terms, missing something i should have seen under water while wearing a blindfold, or i am misspelling anything. I am neither very experienced with anything surrounding seo or anything else that has with internet to do, nor am i from an englishspeaking country. Hope someone here can light up my path 🙂 Thats at least something you can say in norwegian...

                  Is there a SEO penalty for multi links on same page going to same destination page?

                  Hi, Just a quick note. I hope you are able to assist. To cut a long story short, on the page below http://www.bookbluemountains.com.au/ -> Features Specials & Packages (middle column) we have 3 links per special going to the same page.
                  1. Header is linked
                  2. Click on image link - currently with a no follow
                  3. 'More info' under the description paragraph is linked too - currently with a no follow Two arguments are as follows:
                  1. The reason we do not follow all 3 links is to reduce too many links which may appear spammy to Google. 2. Counter argument:
                  The point above has some validity, However, using no follow is basically telling the search engines that the webmaster “does not trust or doesn’t take responsibility” for what is behind the link, something you don’t want to do within your own website.   There is no penalty as such for having too many links, the search engines will generally not worry after a certain number.. nothing that would concern this business though.  I would suggest changing the no follow links a.s.a.p. Could you please advise thoughts. Many thanks Dave Upton [long signature removed by staff]

                  SEO value of "in the news" links on home page?

                  Notice more sites have an "in the News" section on the home page, or something similar like press releases... Apart from providing users fresh content, is there an SEO value to this?  What is the explanation for this? Have a feeling the answer is obvious but just not too sure Thanks a lot.

                  Page speed tools

                  Working on reducing page load time, since that is one of the ranking factors that Google uses. I've been using Page Speed FireFox plugin (requires FireBug), which is free. Pretty happy with it but wondering if others have pointers to good tools for this task. Thanks...
