    With recent panda update, all low quality content sites are filtered and dropped rankings. Some SEO master says above 1000 words articles ranks well and ranks for multiple keywords too. I want to know What is the best lenth of any article for SEO point of view?

    I think the length of article depends upon a few things such as what you have to say, how you want to say it and how deeply you want to describe it. Well, we know that our post will not take longer than five minutes for readers to absorb or read so I personally believe that the length of article should be 500 words. It is enough length to say any think with using our targeted keywords.

    I second what shrkcn says:

    You need to include images, tables and video in your content. If you are writing content for a home page of an Adsense site, depending on the competition I usually go for 1000+ words, a video and 4 images minimum.

    Write for the reader first and optimize afterwards

    Content in an article should be more than 500 words as you can see that some good article submission sites not accept short articles. Also there is a need to create more informative content rather than promotional. Tell your information in points than is easy to understand.

    I think article length should be 400 - 500 words. I have used this length and i find that it is very impressive and informative for users but first thing is that your content should be excellent and innovative quality. Because we can easily explain our article 400 to 500 words. Every users wants to short and helpful article.

    When we write about something we are really interested in, it’s easy to let enthusiasm steer the way. We can sit down with the intention of writing a small missive on a topic we want to air, and sit back half an hour later to discover that we have churned out a post of thousands of words. We publish it, proud of what we have accomplished, and feel despondent when it doesn’t receive the attention or credit it deserves.

    From SEO point, best article length is 500-600 words. Article should have fresh and unique quality content with simple language from reader's point, and with less keyword density upto 2-3%.

    Optimal number of word count would be about 400 - 500. Most of the article directories doesn't accept the article below 400 words. It's better to have to 400 - 500 words.

    It depends on where you write it. If a great point can be made in 400 - 500 words then that's your answer. If an even greater point can be made for 700 - 1000 words then go with that.

    There isn't really a clear number on which you should comply with unless it is a blog/directory article.

    I'd completely agree with the 500+ word minimum. It's too easy to rattle off 300 words on any old subject but a couple of hundred more will add some depth.

    Also, for your images, don't forget you alt image tags.
