Size does matter when it comes to SEO
It’s no secret that I ADORE blogs. Blogs are a boot strapping entrepreneur’s best friend. They’re much less expensive to launch than a traditional HTML web site and much more "search engine friendly." (The Word Press plug in which automatically generates a google compliant XML site map is an essential plug in.)
One of the advantages of a blog is that you can easily create a lot of content with a lot less effort than with a traditional HTML web site.
Dan Thies in his GREAT article on Mastering both kinds of Linking says:
Naturally, for a large site to get all of its pages indexed, it needs to have more authority (PageRank, whatever) to make that happen. But the other advantage that a large site gains, as more pages are indexed, is that they have more opportunities to create their own anchor text and link reputation within their own pages.
It just makes sense that large sites have a MUCH greater chance of getting links than a smaller site. Large blog sites also offer a wider variety of posts to attract these links. More links can often lead to a higher page rank (but not always!)

Yes, it is true: size matters but it is not everything. I just researched one of our client’s competitors and guess what: they have 12 pages indexed by Google (only 12) and they are in top 10 for most of the keywords we target. Which is impressive. They have good content, a lot of good quality links and in their case… size did not matter.
