Ideal Blog Post Length

Ideal Blog Post Length

Ideal blog article or blog post length mainly depends on subject of articles. Some articles subject may be explained in few hundred words, other subjects may require more than 1000 words.

1.    Does Length Matter

I think length does not matter for search engine, I created on blog with only 180 word and it get top ranking in Google , on other hand I created many blogs with more than 500 word, but these blogs are not appearing anywhere in Google search results.

2.    Minimum Blog Post Length

Length does not matter a lot, but a too short blog is not recommended in any case. You would rarely found any blog article in top ranking with less than 100 words. Therefore minimum blog article length should be 200 words. Again a concept well explained in 200 words has value for search engines.

3.    Maximum Blog Post Length

Many people love targeted solution and not interested in stories. Therefore, any required query can be easily answered in 500 words. Therefore each blog article should be well structure to answer a query in 400 to 500 words. Most of my blog posts do not exceed 400 hundred words.

4.    Too Much knowledge

People read blog article for short answer and target solutions. For detailed analyses or concepts, people love to read books and research paper.  Therefore blog article must be well planned & targeted.

5.    Length Vs Relevance

Blog article should reveal the relevant information of searched articles. It is important to remember that it is not writing competition of long writing, but it is competition of providing right information.

6.    500 Words may be Benchmark

Keeping in view all the above things in mind, recommended blog length is 400 to 500 words. Believe me or not that this is a safe zone, and write quality content with this length can generate traffic for you. I already told you that even a blog with 180 words can be top ranked.

At the end, I would like to mention that this blog contains 290 words only.
