Don't use 500 word articles!

Let's take a poll. How many of you buy/create or in same way post articles for the purpose of relevant backlinks?


How many of you do the minimum word requirement?

In my opinion many of these low word articles do not pass the content ratio test on website templates like ezine's. If you go for 800 or more word articles you will see a huge difference in the scoring of your backlink efforts.

Anyone with experience submitting heavy word count articles care to report?

 

Google looks at the content, not the template code. You can get rankings for articles which are much shorter then 500 words!

 

400 words is much better in my experience and as long as the article is very interesting to read and very informative one

 

Typically articles ranging from 450 to 700 words but more than this is pretty good they will get the quick approval as well lower than 400 takes time to be approved in my experience.

 

Article submitted station audit standards? 500 words, write an article or a very long time.

 

I knew there would be a lot of you, can anyone with experience using 800+ word articles comment?

 

It should be more than 250 words plus maintain keyword density.

 

300 in sufficient for me

 

I think 300-400 word is fine

 

What are you all basing these on? I mean, what is "success" here? Is is simply the Ezine approved your article, so you have a another backlink?

Or is there some way you've been able to tell exactly which article (at a certain word length) gave you a *perfect backlink* that managed to bump-up your SERP position for a particular keyword?

 

My viewpoint as a reader is that you had better have something pretty interesting to say if you expect me to read 800+ words.

 

the longer the better seo wise.

 

look keyword density in every article, you can take difference with this research.

 

Some of the article sites, don't accept that much longer article.
300 - 400 is enough

 

Article length does not matter at all. what matters is keyword density and article content.

 

I think 350 to 400 is good as long as the idea of the article is there and your reader will enjoy reading it.

 

around 350 words are works good imo

 

as i think 350-500 words article is sufficient to get approval and backlinks. if you use an articles with more that 700 words, it seems good and informative but it doesn't mean that <500 word articles are useless

 

but lots of article don't accept minimum of 500 words too.. to be safe 500 is the ideal.

 

150-200 words artical is sufficient to get both approval and backlinks.
