How much text does everyone think you ideally need for a page to rank well? and how much of a negative effect does it have if there is less text? Personally I always aim for at least 150 words as I read that somewhere a long time ago and it has seemed to work OK. I just wondered what everyone else's view on this is?
I've never really bothered to count, but do try to ensure that the site looks clean and is easily readable.
dcristo I agree with you but surely there must be an amount of text that is needed to capture your keywords properly? I mean, Google must need to see your keywords in context on the page and for that to happen you need a certain amount of text. If you had no text on the page could it still rank?
As everyone said i also say there is no fix words count of web page content. But always try to fully explain your products and service. Your page content cud be less than 150 or around 150 or more than 150. But try to give a fully and relevant description of your product and services...................
Concentrate on relevance and writing for your visitors. Is a 150 word article really going into any great detail? Surely not.
Me too, I don't count the text on a page as long as all of the text are helpful and useful. And the most important is the keyword is inserted.
your content must be unique it doesn't matter how many words are u using in it but not less than 300 words
Usually I try to stick to around 300 - 400 words per article. Note that, the main important thing here is not about the number of words but whether you are using the right keywords. Just make sure they are evenly distributed into different paragraph.
Has to be 300 words unique content (excluding sidebards). I think ezine guideline is a good measure for it.
