1. Longer Content Gets More Backlinks
Backlinks are an extremely crucial factor in Google ranking. That is because backlinks are the foundation of PageRank's algorithm. Google also mentions backlinks when ranking valuable pages.
There is a positive correlation between word count (and backlinks)
- Correlation between word count and referring domains
It’s evident that longer blog posts seem more impressive and are why more people link.
There’s a strong positive correlation between backlinks and word count for posts longer than 1,000 words. It means that the average number of backlinks to unique websites (referring domains) starts to decline after 1000 words.
What's the deal? The correlation is partially due to the balance of thoroughness and succinctness.
Let me explain:
In general, longer content tends to be more link-worthy. It also reveals the "need-to-know" points in a sea of "nice to have" information, which means more people will find the 'link-worthy points.'
You can also be sure that most people won't link to blog posts they haven't read. If your post takes more than three hours to read, fewer people will link to it.
What can you do?
Your blog posts should be concise and uncomplicated. However, you must include key 'link-worthy points.'
Ahrefs' Site Explorer allows you to copy the URL of the top-ranking blog post for your target keyword. Next, go to the Backlinks report. Look at the anchors of the links and the surrounding text to find trends.
Do not focus on length. Be concise and include all the relevant points.
soon. Unless you can ask questions completely detailing your project you won't get the answers that will be helpful. You have to guide it to and through your content to get relevant subject matters. Since that becomes extremely involved, you just might ask yourself the same questions and answer them and keep on going.
I know this is a simple answer but it will keep you out of copywrite & Plagiarism territory. Just remember, One question gives the composite of millions of published articles. If you get caught with an AI answer and exposed and you integrity goes out the window.
Using AI to create areas that are important to your Niche and writing about those subjects in your own words can be extremely useful.
As I said earlier in this comment I agree with your tutorial 100%. How I got onto this subject is from talking about length of content & the first thing to come into my mind is people using AI to add content. It could be a trap if not used properly.
I found your tutorial very to the point and helpful.

I sometimes hit about 1100 words for some posts, nevertheless, when I got new ideas for that particular post, I will go back to that post and add a few more lines to it.
I tend to be paranoid when a new post only hits around 1100 words lol.
