When You See A Lot Of Competition For A Keyword

You write a better and longer post than all of them!

Yes, I'm hoping that's what I did today... 2,800 words for a product review for the usual internet marketing product.

Graph Source

Sometimes I wonder why I write that much because what if it doesn't even rank on Page 1 after all that writing?

But as you can see in the graph above, the longer the post the better the ranking.

I can't always think about ranking though because how I see it is that I made the best post I can with all the information I got.

I put everything in that post and made sure I covered all grounds and if that meant it was going to be 2,800 word post, so be it.


Will I write like this all week, nope! At least not on purpose, sometimes I really don't know how much I'll write but usually it's over 1,000 words.

If you're ever stuck on writing 1,00o words, you can check out my training here:

How To Easily Write A 1,000 Word Blog Post


I'll have to see, when this 2,800 word publishes in mid August, where it will rank on Google, it'll be interesting to see if I can beat all those page 1 posts!

Happy writing!

Grace

I was told to write posts but write them well up to about 3000 words. Apparently they rank better if you write one long post a week versus 2-3 short posts a week. I wrote one today of about 2500 words with a GSR of 5 and about 800 searches a month. I'll see how it goes.

Don't know what to tell you but it's been a month and that post i talked about is still on page 3. :(

oh well, maybe it needs more time but I publish these days and nothing is under 1000 words.

Just keep writing a variety of lengths.

I usually do not have a problem with at least 1200, but occasionally, I go with 5-600.

That's great if you don't need long posts.

That is why I make them as long as they need to be.

OH Lol, I think I read your comment backwards originally, sorry. :)

Nice. Most of my 265 posts are around 750 words. I think for my next review I'll step it up to 2000 words. Great post.

Thanks David, once awhile having one of these longer posts will help your site gain some better ranking but man, you have a lot of posts! That's awesome! :)

Thanks Little Mama. Yea been almost two years. Lol

Have you made it to Vegas yet?

No not yet. Still working on that one. :)

Let us know how this turns out, Grace.
I hope it's good fortune all the way!

For sure I will, thanks. :)

That's great! I'll be interested to see how it ranks.

Thanks Sue, appreciate your support!

Thanks Grace. Nice work. Let us know how it turns out. Looking forward to it.

Thanks Patrick, I will sure give an update. :)

That's awesome Grace, looking forward to see how you make out with ranking :)

Thanks Patsy, I hope it's a good one. :)

I've always believed in this Grace what you say"...the longer the post the better the ranking".

I'm really curious, I think this is a GREAT strategy, to save your longer posts for a lot of competition on a keyword. I bet it woks!

I will update later when I find out how it ranks. :) That's good you feel the same too!

I also like your new profile pic - great!!

Lol, thanks for noticing! :)

That's great sometimes I find myself writing long posts while some other times I do average writing.

Yeah, it does depend on the topic and your mood. :) Thanks Paul.

Here's to a high google ranking Grace!

Thanks Michael, I hope so too!
