Linking New Optimized Page To Main Page

Hello All...

I am in the process of creating new pages for my website. These page are going to basically be articles that I am writing with highly targeted keywords. Each page will be SEO optimized.

Can I create a link on my main page that points to a directory where these new pages will reside or do I need an individual link for each new page I create on my main page?

My thoughs were to create a link called Home Business Articles. This link will be on every page of my website (in my template). When someone clicks this link, they will go to a page that lists all of the articles separated my subject. Then from this page they can click to each individual article.

Will this link the new articles correectly throughout my site so the search engines will find them?
