texasville is right.

There seems to be a page count threshold as well as other factors at play. I can certainly add lots more pages to my 61 page widget site, but they would probably not add much to the user experience. I could create a site that has 32,000 pages, one for each individual widget for sale in my market, instead of giving users access to all 32,000 widgets via the user searchable database portal I provide now. Would that really enhance the user experience? Probably not, but it certainly would let G think I have more unique content than I really do. It would also add 32,000 more pages for Gbot to crawl every couple of weeks. I would then look just like the huge eCommerce sites that do basically the same thing, and G seems to love so well. I guess the the way out of "supplemental hell" is to play the game, and let Google become the inventory database search function of every site on the planet, instead of building sites that are portals with their own database engines to serve up their inventories.
