Thinking of content standard. E-commerce is another good example of a website(context matters very well). Having online stores selling bags, shoes and other wears, I believe your potential customers do not need to read thousands of content or articles on your website, the reality is that content and the length of your article alone may not do the magic for rankings with Organic traffic. Users find out how current the content is and how relevant is it play an important role also.
A Contextual Content Strategy
Your decision to write a quality content comes first and understanding your niche follows, I have said previously from the niche-specific instruction above, ranking with the content alone is not the right strategy but ranking with quality content with your niche relativeness. (Knowing what is right in your Niche).Organic traffic. Your online foundation must be solid enough to withstand any challenges articulated with an online business, which will help you build the future for your website.
As an online marketer, hard work must be your watchword because good SEO is a result of taking the right approach and solid process which gives you great returns in terms of organic traffic that translate to dollars, your effort must count on content creation of quality, not quantity alone, and study your competitors very well, competitors analysis is very important as an online business owner, be sure of these the leader in your niche must be studied and well analyzed, you may not catch up in a year but you start to build your online business on a very solid foundation success already from the beginning.
The reason why I'm emphasizing this point is because I've been searching on WA for guidelines as to the length of an article but i came across information from 2 or 3 years ago so i wasn't sure whether it was still relevant or not. I am extremely happy for your updated post on the matter. I finally have clarity on the issue. Thank you.
