1000-2000 Words: Q&A Information
For topics with short answers, then I think the 1k-2k range is fine to work with, but I would be careful around the low 1000-word range. The trouble with a thousand words, at least for me, is that I’ve personally not seen good results with low effort articles like that.
Basically, a topic deserves to have a full article, or it doesn’t. If buy bulgaria cell phone number list really can’t eek out 1500 words of awesome, informative, worthwhile text then you probably shouldn’t be writing an article about it (with the exception of newsworthy topics as described above). On the other hand, if it’s worth writing about, then it shouldn’t be that hard to write an article of decent length.
My frustration with Google here is that sometimes they really force bloggers into a box, and that’s how we get shitty results like most recipe blogs produce. Literally everybody hates reading a 1500 blog post before a recipe. We just want freakin’ the recipe, man! Google wants content though, so recipe bloggers are forced to pump out garbage so they can rank.
I don’t have a solution for the recipe thing. Just bitching. What I am saying is that you shouldn’t aim for the lowest possible word count for your blog posts. Think about the topic and write what’s appropriate for the reader. This is probably the greyest area for me in terms of finding a perfect word count. For most blogs posts, 1500 really is a minimum for me, so I try to find some kind of supplemental information to hit that goal. Usually a simple FAQ at the bottom of the page can bump you up another 500 words or so if you really need the extra words.
