I'm considering re-designing my personal website to promote my web services in my local area.

My issue is whether to do a one page website with a scroll-to navigation system. What effect does this have on SEO. As i understand it, you set stuff like h1's and meta description on specific page content. How does this work when all of your different content is on one page?

If you have only one web page then it will most likely cover several topics (e.g. each web service offered) and thus not be focused on any one topic. This will make it more difficult to get that page to rank well for one specific topic (you only get one page title, one h1, etc).

If you break it down into multiple pages you will be able to focus each page on a specific topic. Additionally, interlinking your pages will also give you a (very) small boost as you will have the advantage of anchor text and PR transfer.

The most important parts are the links you get to your website and the way you write your content. The more links you get on your website the higher your page will be ranked. In your content you should focus on keywords and set them into more important tags like h1 and strong. Then they will be more important for the search engines.

I don't think your answer addressed their question at all. Not to mention that link quantity is irrelevant. It's link quality that matters. – John Conde May 18 '11 at 17:36
