SEOs: Large Web Sites Rank Better In Google

Sep 27, 2013 - 8:12 am 17 by

site size seo pollA few months ago, we ran a poll asking our audience if they believe that the site of a site matters when it comes to ranking in Google. In short, do larger sites rank better than smaller sites?

After almost 400 responses, I wanted to share the results.

Overall, 57% said that larger sites do rank better in Google. Only 9% said that smaller sites rank better in Google. While, 34% said that site size has no impact on Google rankings.

Honestly, I am upset that 34% isn't more like 65% and that 57% isn't more like 15% or so. But I am not surprised by the results.

Disclaimer: Please see my poll disclaimer post before coming to any conclusions on these results.
