Hi, It's usually best to keep the articles above 250/300. Don't go below this length, as some directories won't accept them. If you have trouble writing articles you might want to think about using a content writer. I hope this helps. Kat Fuschillo
If you're writing for your own blog, any number will do. It doesn't affect seo, the reason to achieve that number is article directories only accept articles with 250words and above.
And one or two only accept 500+ word articles. Hire someone to write for you or re-write PLR articles if you struggle with writing.
I'm looking for a good resource on article marketing. Still can't find a good summary of the best methods. Anyone have any?
