  How large can pages become before the visitor of the page is lost? The information should preferably be presented in one screen, with no need to scroll: if you have larger pages, it is increasingly difficult to select the best site related to the information you are looking for.

The size of any web-page should be kept within bounds: is a page too small, then you need too many pages to store your information. It is increasingly difficult to find the correct page. Is a page too large, than the page is easier to find, but it is harder to find your information contained in the page.
Depending on the length of text for each description, the amount of sites per page is limited to less than 25. Search-engines often show 10 sites per page max.

Having a max number of sites per page, the number of pages has to grow. However, this means that the number of pages will grow with 10% per month.
