How long should an article be?

As there is no sure answer to the question "How often to publish your blog?", So there is no optimal length of an article. In general, a post on a blog should be long enough to include the items tracked, but not so long that it bored readers and make them move on before they read the conclusion.

Articles can be from one paragraph to the thousands of words. There are blogs that only publish videos to YouTube with the title and possibly a brief description. Other large public tutorials on various topics. Ultimately depends on the profile and blog readers.

In general, I prefer to write articles between 200 and 1000 words. Rarely, if the theme requires, beyond the upper limit. Lower limit is useful to circle ads 300 × 250, where we display in the articles.

The length of an article and SEO

Yet, it is important the length of the article? Yes, in terms of SEO is very important. Google searches tend to exclude very short articles, a very simple reason: he can not figure out which key words therein. In an article of 400-500 words (the length of which I consider to be optimal) can be calculated easily Keyword density and search engine can decide which keywords to competing article.

So if you want to write an article that will bring readers from search engines need to write articles of at least 400 words.

Frequency of publication and length

If search engine is determined length articles for readers, frequency of publication of articles is even more important than length. Ideal is to establish a publication schedule and keep it all the time. I mean, if you propose to write an article a day, then post each day. Without exception. In any case, with breaks of weeks. The only way to ensure stable growth of the blog and can create a community around it.

Apparently, Google appreciates and encourages a certain extent blogs are updated frequently, it is still an argument for establishing and maintaining a high frequency of publication of articles.
