Perhaps, for content-based sites. Not if you're a financial institution and visitors to your site are likely looking to find a specific transaction. Not if you are an insurance provider and visitors are trying to find a service provider. If you are a retailer selling stuff, you don't want browsers, you want buyers. I will concede that Amazon does pretty well and they paginate product listings, but I think they use a lot more intelligence to deliver high-value results than typical retailers, including very large ones.
