How much text on a page is too much?

    Is there an advantage to having a small amount of text on a page as opposed to 100k words?

    Keep in mind, you are developing website for Real Human Visitors not For Search Engine Spiders.

    Of course there is. If you split those words into many articles, you will have a better chance being found in the serps as you will have way more pages indexed and each will have its keyword optimized title.

    I would recommend you to limit the number of words in a single page to 2000. Of course there are times when you may need to expand this number, but whenever possible, don't cross this mark. Instead, make a part two of your article, with a different relevant title.

    Content is king in search engines so if you write quality content for users so it will always better for search engines, first do analysis of your competitors and write content for your site with targeted keywords.

    that is google's philosophy.

    I think., you can put minimum 300 to 4oo
    Thanks
