So does size matter...to Google?

[Rwh909r]

My company has around 7,000 pages indexed with Google and 194 back links with Google.
A competitor has around 316,000 pages indexed with Google and has 2,270 back links with Google.

Obviously I know Google likes the more links pointing to my competitor’s site, but does the massive size of links from their site that Google has indexed make a difference in rankings? I know a lot of their pages are strictly before and after photo galleries but for content to content and relevancy both the sites can go head to head. I’m working on getting more valid inbounds but the number of the pages indexed is catching my attention now.

Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Like many things in life size does indeed matter.

Size matters when your picking a glass to fill with beer.

Ontopic: I think the backlinking depends on a couple of factors. One of them being the quality of backlinks. Quality being content, keywords (title attribute). I am not an expert on the all the Seo. I have read quite alot about it, but I never really tried things. Busy with other things at the moment.

However In the matter you are talking about, with a size with a gap as you are talking about I think size does indeed matter.

Any expert opinions about this ?

You need to increase the content and backlinks to improve traffic. And in my opinion, this way gives you the most stable traffic especially if your backlinks are related to your website.

yes it matters but its only one factor, imo your domain and page title are more important

Size absoultely matters if the bigger site has more unqiue contents. It is more about content in the end. I have seen some competing web sites that have more pages and they are hard to beat.
