what is the ideal size of a website?

one big website or many smaller websites?

Im busy planning a website from a keyword, theme pyramid ect point of view.

I am wondering what size should you plan for a large website .
Please take inot account the following :

1.Navigation :
2.Usability

but also take into account the long tail of keyword selection
and many products /terrortories .

Would it be better to split it up into many smaller websites or have one big website ?

Regards

I'm a fan of keeping everything within one main website, as long as the keywords are at least somewhat related. I'd rather add new pages for separate keywords, and then deep link to that page. That way, all pages of your website can benefit from any inbound link, and interior pages can get a nice boost from deep links.
