So why articles? Why does that earn more? I'm just wondering, because my first site is all for myspace layouts and contact tables, etc, and I'm adding on pages full of those things. I don't know what i'd write about, when people are just going there to find layouts... Does having a zillion pages of layouts/contact table/backgrounds/whatever count towards the 200+ pages I'd need? _________________ http://www.MeMyspaceAndI.com

If you're selling graphics and layouts people need to find them.
close your eyes and paint a word picture of what you're promoting [ that's what you can write about. _________________ Gary

It's more about the usefulness of your pages.
I have one page that makes $500/day - Others generate $1/day.
Rather than focussing on the number of pages turn your attention to the quality of the page.
Tip: Find the $1/day pages and turn them into $500/day pages by focussing on top notch information.
Give your focus to the visitor experience and you will be pleasantly surprised with how few pages you actually need to do well.
Hope that helps a bit

I just read Colin's book along with Steve Krug's "Don't Make Me Think" - one of the best books on Web Usability I've read (and one that understands there doesn't have to be a conflict between a good user experience and direct marketing tactics).Alon
I think a year ago i really got turned on to "overoptimization penalties" from some of Brad Fallon's stuff, and now I think alot of the SEO "gurus" are veering off the side of the track, while people who build useful, usable sites are going to be the long-term winners.
You can't imagine what a huge relief it is to just focus on building useful, usable content. I've already seen my profits from one site become much more consistent by doing so.
I'm not saying there isn't a place for path-analysis, taguchi-testing, etc....i still do that, but the broad-sweep doesn't have to be as complicated as some would have you believe.
This is actually a little trickier than you might think....
At a very base level your content needs to be something people are actually interested in. This may sound simplistic..but, if you put up a rocking page on green candle holders....how much traffic can you get? (I speak from experience, wow)
