Many sites today are filled with short, non-descriptive links that force people to do just that. Big empty pages with links that don't tell the readers anything almost guarantee that the readers will not be able to find what they are looking for. I have to click too many times to get to the information I want to see that is, if I can find it. Rather than create pages that were a bunch of short links to different pages, my testing showed it was better to present people with a lot of options on a single page. Readers are then more likely to find something that interests them.
Some people think it's better to make people click than to scroll.
But people can't click on what they don't see . More experienced Web users may click blindly into the future, but our target audience does not. Short links that bury content under too many clicks trivialize it. It also takes longer to load many separate pages than one longer page scrolling is faster than clicking and loading a new page. I go to sites and don't see much there, so I leave.
