I know that you can have webpages to long. How do you know if a webpage is to long. I have a website just under 2000 pages. I have 20 catigories links that brake off into a sub catigory page. On each sub catigory page i have links broken down to a spacific catigory (such as Nokia Cell Phones, Sony Cell Phones, Motorola cell phones and so on) I have an average of 7 to 9 sub catigories on a page. I feel i am ok up till here for page size. Heres where i need some help. When you click on a subcatigory link that pulls up a page that has up to 30 products on that one page. I have alot of them that have over 15 products on a page. How do i Know how many products to put per page. I know i have to brake thes pages up into smaller pages. Is there a page checker that i could use to check these pages. Is there someone that could tell me how about the way thy would do it. Any help would be helpfull. Heres a link to see one of the pages that i am talking about this one has 32 products oSale Gift Box Knife Deer Eagle Wolf John Deer Tractor Indian Bear Thanks

mpb200 I took a look at this page.Sale Model: kb7658 John Deer Tractor Gift Box Knife I think this is a 'More info page"

I think the page linking to this page with 32 products is not too many. I would be more concerned about the page title, I think the 'more info page' title would be better something like John Deer Tractor Gift Box Knife to confirm/ match the link

your navigation is easy to follow. I do not think the size of the pages is a problem. the title of your image gives search engines a hint about page content http://www.peeknsave.com/knives_swor...kb20w2_med.jpg An image link worded like /winter-wolf-pack-gift-knife-jpg
would be more effective

I think you have the navigation basically about right. You basically need to funnel users and search engines to the "More info pages" you do that O.K. . . You do need to ad some finesse and style and a more compressed layout and save your users a bit of scrolling. Then just ad all and any original content you can lay your hands on to the 'More info pages'

I have often heard that a good size page for SEO purposes is about 300 words; though this is a very ballparkish type answer; I don't know if SEO matters to you much here.

With this i think you are concerned more about user experience than about SEO
I personally do not hang around webpages where I have to scroll and scroll to find what I am looking for

Also people tend to move on quickly if they don't find the product they are looking for within so many seconds of landing on your page

So I would suggest a page length that involves little scrolling

And if your pages have to be of such length that you have products below the fold of the page, I would suggest you put your bestselling or most searched for products above the fold of the page

Make sure you don't forget about the customer. You want the best customer experience possible, even if it limits your SEO a bit. Optimizing your site for your users can increase your conversions. A slight increase in conversions can significantly offset slight decreases in traffic.

Personally I feel it depends on the visitor. When I checked out that page if I were interested in a knife box seeing that many choices to choose from would be a very good thing. I think that you shouldn't worry to much about the size of your sub pages if they are filled with content your visitors are searching for.
