RE: What's better, lots of keyword targeted pages or fewer pages with more traffic going into them?posted in Keyword Research
Real experience:
We had travel guides with 1 page about travel itineraries on each destination covered.
(e.g. Rome Itineraries)That page was doing good but we decided to create other 3 pages to target longer keywords: 1 day Rome Itineraries, 3 days Rome Itineraries, 5 days Rome Itineraries (not exactly that keywords but somethign like that).
New pages have been linked from the "old" well performing one. We replaced the content of the old page (it was about 1 day, 3 days, 5 days itineraries) to avoid any internal duplicate content issue and created new fresh content for the new pages.
Results:
Traffic increase in 2/3 months.Moreover we observed decreased bounce rates since we were finally serving all the user with an exact intent (e.g. "5 days itinerary in Rome") with good and focused content.
IMHO, having lot of pages targeting a lot of keywords it's good but you have to pay attention on content differentiation. Different keywords, different pages, different GOOD content.

Google site: operator showing only 30 results for whatever website you may like, omitting the restposted in Technical SEO
site:wikipedia.org
site:seomoz.org
site:nytimes.com
site:WHATEVER YOU PUT HERE
is currently always showing just 3 SERP pages and the well known ugly message:
In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 30 already displayed.
If you like, you can repeat the search with the omitted results included.Any idea what's going on?!!? Ongoing update?
