I've noticed that many websites that rank high with one or two keywords have hundreds - perhaps thousands of pages. They have a lot of content per page.
Just wondering if someone has a website that is well optimized, relevant backlinks (in which does not help (my belief) - but I personally use it to gain referral traffic) and has at least a few thousand pages that have basically a thousand words per page (and pages are added every day) - will this website eventually become an authoritative site and possibly have the chance to rank in the top three of a two KW (popular) niche?
Please answer only if you have a website of this calliber or experience in building mega-sites. I'm not interested in people who "think" it should be this way or not - I'm not trying to be a jerk - just like to know what your EXPERIENCE of this is. Thank you.
And it's quite probably NOT because they are "big" sites with a lot of comntent, if that were the case Amazon or eBay should be "ranking" for all manner of words. Same with About.com, or any of the "dictionary" websites they have a page for EVERY single word in the dictionary for the language they cover.
Wikipedia has millions of pages with good content on every page
Looking at a perceived effect and deciding what is the cause is THE MOST COMMON MISTAKE by SEOs, SEOMoz seem to be making a business out of mixing up cause and effect.
