Also one other item does having the inforamtion that the search engine spider on th epages matter if it is at the top or bottom of the page?
I am a owner of 2 sites and do all myself and trying to learn more about the above questions

In general, it is best to have a lot of pages for your websites. The more pages you have on your site, you will have more entry pages where people can get into your website.
Just make sure that the search engine can spider your pages. In general, you should add a page a day to your website, after a year, you can will have at least 365 pages. The more the better. Think of it like a store...with multiple entrances. People dont just come in thru the front door, they also can come in thru the side doors, back doors, basement, and even the roof (lol).
Hope this helped.
But how much is the larger site favored? Which setup would have more total traffic: one site with 90 pages, or three sites with 30 pages each? Or nine sites with 10 pages each? I think people are just guessing.
I think its easier to get links to smaller sites, because the same site that might link once to your 90 page site might link to each of your 30 page sites.
One thing that's clear is that you don't want to bury your pages deep in your site. Google is more likely to ignore pages that are separated by several links from your home page. (ie: Homepage links to page 2 links to page 3 links to page 4 links to page 5... Google has to follow 4 links to get to page 5. Google will probably stop somewhere along the way and never make it to page 5. However, if all four inner pages were linked to directly from the homepage, than Google would look at all of them.)
Lets think of your website as a net and lets think of your users as fish. The bigger your net, the more fishes you catch :)

Only true if all links are to your home page. Bad idea. Think deep links. Then that page 4 levels deep might actually be the one G enters by.
I have a site that has a page 3 levels deep that often equals the home page as an entry page. It is such that I have been able to get it into quite a number of regional directories.
