    How many words should a web page be to be picked up by Google?

    I am going to be making a few hundred web pages with a few images and some text. How much text (how many words) should I put on each page?

    Are there any other considerations?

    I'd go for at least 300 words because it's pretty difficult to include all needed keywords and a proper density within 150 words. The only situation I had to keep it under 150 was an online shop with 3000+ products ...

    No problem with 100 words if it's totally unique.

    hi,

    I suggest 150 - 300 words/page limitation is better for SEO point of view.

    Depending on the type on information you provide. And btw I wouldn't add hundreds of pages to a brand-new site if I were you, it's more advisable to gradually expand a site.

    So it doesn't matter how many words as long as they are unique......

    I think this might be the answer I'm looking for.

    Enough text to balance out everything else on the sites IMO... you don't want your navigation and filler footer/info areas to be the majority of the content.

    having 100 words on a single page would be too less i think so... the page will look too much clean n clear

    i would recommend to have 300 - 500 words rich content targeted with good keyword research for betterment of seo
