A good user experience is in fact contrary to visiting more pages. Making the site more usable means having the person click through less pages. Of course if your business is built around flashing ads, then you want to force your users to travel through more pages. You want to make the site less usable and confuse them so they click around trying to figure it out. You want to require page refresh for alerts so when they are waiting for something they have to keep coming back and keep refreshing (evil laugh here). Does it matter? The user wins with a free service. MySpace wins with every nickel per page view. The suckers are those people paying for ad banners that everyone ignores. Ah, beautiful.
