Few of the points below are helpful when setting up a web site page. One of the common myths about number of pages a site should have is, more the pages - better the rank. However, that is not true. Number of pages may be limited but it is the content that matters. Ongoing update and addition of your website pages helps search engines like Google to count it as fresh content. Updates from time to time such as publishing articles, news, press release, useful tips etc are helpful.

This still doesn't really explain what a external page is.

So if I have many pages which are all well optimized for different keywords my website wont rank as well as if I had less pages?

Complete nonsense. If you have more pages then you can use more good content and optimize for more keywords.

More pages will help you rank for more search terms.
