If you currently have a website that is only a few pages long, you may fear that your site may not rank highly in search engines. But, this does not have to be the case. What does matter is the content on those few pages. Knowing what content to include on your pages will help rank your site.

The basic point is this, you don't have to have a large website with page upon page of information in order to rank with a search engine. What you need is content rich pages, pages that will trigger the search engine quickly.

However if you have multiple pages and want it to rank high on the search engines, each page should be keyword specific to one keyword. Meaning, that if page X is about dogs and page Y is about caring for them, you should have a keyword for page X and one for page Y, instead of using the same for each. That way, your site will draw off both of these keywords and not get stuck in limbo with one.

By doing this, allowing each webpage to have its own keyword, you allow your site to rank higher in the search engine in multiple areas. In other words the same site can have many rankings because each page will have its own listing and keyword on the search engine. This way you get more hits to your site. And, after all this is the goal! Marketing your site through content can help those with few webpages or many, either way you can gain a higher ranking by using this method.
