    Most of my money pages are 1000+ words, and then supporting/links contain 350-600 each.

    The article site will have a minimum word count, usually 400.

    Most of the writer could finish at least 400-500 words per article.

    i think to attract users you need to have at-least 500 words in your article which should be attractive.

    What does a Maniac like to write about? Hmmn!

    How many words? Oldthink is 400 words. Newthink is 1000 words. Either way you want to craft the article with your keyword density for your key phrase in mind. ...

    And there is more than one school of thought on what the keyword density ought to be.

    Lately I have been running 1000+ words as a test, but my jury is still out. The old Panda is a tricky critter and I have seen really strange things lately in the way of what is working and what is not.

    Our articles are of 300 words. But in order to gain more results from article marketing, I think articles of 450+ words are more favorable. 200 words are not enough for sure. Another tip is to have relatively short titles. Titles under 7 words are best. That may sound strange to most of you because generally speaking, longer titles are more unique. But according to my statistics, articles with short titles are easier to be indexed.

    Well, if you have an article that is relevant and helpful, but only contains about 200 words, it is best used on web 2.0 or blogs. If you are planning to do article marketing, articles contents should contain about 500 words minimum and must not contain any advertisement to your website.

    There are minimum 500 words in article because some article sites do not accept less than 500 words.

    According to my point of view 400-500 words is good for all article sites. Almost all article sites accept it and not rejected that article.

    I approve your message, and i think as other had said that for popular niches like weight loss, debt settlement, loans etc it has to be over 600 words is a good point to start with.
    Thank you again for the great answers!
