I subscribe to the theory that more pages boost your rankings, especially if the internal pages link back to the main page in the main body of the page. It's not a huge factor, but it does help, and Google can usually tell what spam is and isn't.

However, the main benefits of more *quality* pages are:

- more opportunities for other people to link to you.
- better rankings in long tail searches, which is great for branding.
- opportunity to become an authority in your niche, leading to more links online and offline.
