Is Index Count Important?

If the competition has higher index count, should one strive to get more pages indexed than him?

    Agree with what Yukon is saying.

    A high index count doesn't necessarily mean you will rank for your terms or that you will become an authority.

    If you DO really feel you need to build more pages then you can write 'support' articles and interlink these to your targeted keyword phrases on your site.

    Index count is not a good stat to use for competition analysis.

    The one secondary area where having a high index count helps is with internal anchor text linking. If your site has 1000s of pages that have a great internal linking structure, then it will boost your rankings.

      I'm agreeing with the above statement. Internal linking within a site certainly benefits the site in the SERPs. It may not happen overnight but then again nothing in SEO is instant.

      That being said however...a site with only one page may have a problem competing for a competitive term compared to those with hundreds or even thousands of indexed pages with adequate on-page SEO and internal linking.
