Hello guys

I am writing this post to ask what is the best number of words (for each post) for your site to get better rankings on the internet?

I know we have been told that 1000 words is the minimum,but my worry is that I have seen other members say writing 2000 words should be the goal.

I do, however always write above 1 500 words as an average on all my posts (give or take).

For this issue there are basically two schools of thought that may occur:

1. More words (2000 words) means less posts updates on your site

On one hand the more words you write, the more you will not be posting on your site regularly which is not good for google credibility on your site.

And In the training we are told to post regularly.

2.Less words(just 1000 words) means more posts updates on your site.

On the other hand the fewer words you have, the more you will have frequent post which will give you more credibility but your words will pull you down as far as content creation and quality.


I would like to know, How do we balance the two or which one should we focus on especially since we are looking to get more traffic to our sites?

If you have experience with any,could you please assist with your experience. Thank you.

I write long enough to cover the subject without ever stuffing more into a post just to make it longer. I've enjoyed a 75% conversion rate. Some articles are 800 words, some 1800 words. Whatever it takes to cover the subject is the perfect length. Period.

I think that long posts are better over all.1500 is a great average length!

Thanx a lot. I try to be at this word count most of the time. This will mean I am on the right path then
