Do you think a website can grow too large?

Hi...I'm trying to clarify what I have read in the SBI Affiliate Masters course with what SBI users end up doing.

In the Affiliate Masters course Ken says that a website should not grow to be too large because the search engines only "dig" down X number of pages...I think he said 70 or 80. If your sight becomes larger it is time to "spin" off and build a 2nd site or a 3rd site.

Do you limit (or plan to limit) the size you grow you SBI site?

I'm still studying (before my purchase of SBI) so that I will be educated to the best of my ability once I own SBI. As far as the site concept, I know what I'm going to do, but of course will wait to totally "define" the seed word once I get SBI.

There are 3 components that support one another for my concept, and I just don't know how I will know when it's a good thing to use the 3 together or not. My vision for my site is to create 1 place where my visitors can come for excellent information...not have to go from 1 site to another.

Any thoughts? Experiences with this? Thanks!

I have never worried about the number of pages and I know there are many SBIers with well over 200 pages with very good traffic levels.

Thanks for your reply Lisa. It's good to know, since my preliminary Tier 2 outline indicates that I will have lots of topics to create content for, it's reassuring to know that I don't have to be paranoid about the site ultimately growing too large...like, that would be a total dream to have SOOOOOO much content that I just have to create a partner site!
