In fact, take a good look next time you see one of those real long web pages...do you see a lot of navigation buttons? You probably do not see any except a buy or join button! You know why? They don't want you clicking the back browser button. You know why to that? Because when you click back browser buttons, google knows you are leaving that page. This will cause that web page to rank lower. So are long web pages a good thing? The answer is, often times YES especially when you are looking to get Viral in regards to the search engines.
Getting Visitors To Stay On Your Sites Longer - There is lots of things you can do to get visitors to stay on your website longer. Build curiosity to keep them reading.
