That’s right, there’s no option to make a phrase as an anchor text that will turn into a hyperlink. All you can do is paste the raw link as it is and it will become clickable as it posted like Barry has said.

How to write quality posts is very simple as a drink of water

In my experience, when I add a link to a comment, it automagically becomes a clickable link when you publish. I would be willing to bet the same thing will happen in your request.

I prefer things in brief but yet every important fact in it. I like if there is a link to further studies.

Writing longer articles makes them easier for ranking on Google. However just because they are longer if they're not a value or good it won't benefit you. I would write from the heart and I would try to relate directly to your audience. Let them get to know you and want to visit your blog over and over. Good luck and blessings to you.

Let me ask you a question - Do your readers care how long the articles are

Answer = No

So here is what to focus on

Do your articles solve problems and add value

Are they easy to understand

Are they simple

Focus on these things and you will be fine

I would mix it.

It depends what you are aiming for - you bore the pants of people before you k ow it so this is what I suggest -'
Install SumoMe and use the page analyzer function t see how many people read you page
If it starts with 200 but after 25.% it had gone down to 100 and after 50% it is down to 20 then it is not working

I write 750 to 1250 words and that is more than enough

Hi Alexey, you should ask your audience this question. Personally I prefer short blogs. irv.

The most important issue in a blog or article is to add value to your readers. What message are you sending out there? If you pick a topic, it is better to exhaust all the necessary information on the topic. This cannot be done by counting words my dear. Take a read yourself, and put yourself in position of your readers, are you adding value, are you teaching something? If you are searching or researching for the topic online, will what you put out satisfy your readers. Having a website to be proud of, you will have to take that in mind. All others take secondary position, but which will eventually 'add all others' for you. And I am sure if you are in your passion, and doing something you love, you will want to do much more. An average of 1500 - 2000 words is popular with most articles though. All the best to you always.

Thanks for asking this question, I have been kinda wondering the same thing, I'll be watching for responses :)

Best SEO practice suggests using page/ post name in the permalink.

Hi, not sure about this. Irv.

Ok guys, thanks a lot!

Hi Alexey,

I've tried and tested a few of my pages over the past months, and I think the guys here are right. When the keyword is in the post name (title), and the post name is the permalink, my pages are ranked in Google a lot better.

I was really confident with an article I'd written and was disappointed to see the search engine results. All the elements were there (great keywords, images etc etc) except that the title and permalink didn't match. I changed the permalink and re-submitted to Google and the next day it appeared straight in page 1...

DO NOT change any thing that you have done -
For all new posts /pages set it to post name -
