I have a question concerning how many pages ones website should have in order to get a good SE ranking.
I am currently building a new website an I am finding I am trying to create a lot of pages because I heard it is good to have a lot of pages (with good content). But I am finding I am filling these pages with not very usefull information for visitors.
I would much rather have a site with maybe 5 or 6 really good pages of content that people coming accross my site want an need.
So I guess my overall question is, is it possible to get a good SE ranking with a fairly small number of pages, 5-6 or so???
Look forward to your comments!

I have sites with 5 pages doing as well as sites with 100 pages. I don’t think it matters all that much. It matters how well you are optimized and how many incoming links you have to the SEs.
To the surfer, it matters what you are selling, how well you pre-sell them, and how good your ‘call to action’ is.
Optimization of your pages is the main goal plus good quality unique content.
Sites with 40 to 100 cross link pages do best at the beginning.
When there are fewer than 20 pages, the keywords anchor do not have enough links.
More than 200 pages on a new site seams to cause a dilution of page rank.
I have found the best approach is to start with 50 pages and grow to 500 over a year.
http://www.poker-prince.com started with 20, it now has 63 pages plus 35 PDF files.
http://www.pokerpadre.com is new with about 60 pages.
