Seperate pages for all content?

[Samg86]

Hi all. Hopefully this is in the right place.

I've been building a content site for the past few months, and the two key groups of content are reviews and Q&A.

My question is, should each review/question and answer have their own page in order to rank more effectively for long tail keywords?

I initially planned to have lists of questions and answers by section, and lists of reviews by manufacturer (only 5 or so on each page), and then link to these using the internal page links, but wonder whether its better to have it split out (each review/Q&A is about 300-400 words).

Any ideas? Or am I overthinking?

Hrmmm... tough to answer without all the info.

Increasing the number of pages would increase the 'specialization' of your site and allow the crawlers to easier understand what keywords are important for a particular page.

The downside to this is of course you still have to get backlinks to all these pages with good anchor text in order to get them indexed into the SERPs.

If you already know what keywords are bringing in the SERP traffic then create a sections for those keywords and add more content for those keywords for greater longtail traffic.

As Hav3n said, it is a tough question.

I'd say that if the keywords are long-tail enough, you should create separate pages for them all and be fairly confident that because of the low amount of competition, the almighty google will help you out. Besides, unless you're creating hundreds of pages, I wouldn't worry about not being able to build up enough backlinks.
