    I have been debating myself over this question...

    Does total number of words in a new article or webpage improve SEO?

    how do you think and how many words you think is better?

    Trying not to oversaturate an article/entry seems to be MORE important as a result of my findings. Keyword density with google isn't the main factor for calculating ranking/popularity/etc... May even have negative effects, in regards to SERPS

    hey, may i understand what are you talking about? :confused:

    i am discussing about the total number of words of an article and not about keyword density.

    According to me a 400-500 word article is good enough.Though one must consider that article should be intrest after all content is the king.If you just put in 1000 words but the article is not worth reading its of no use but a 400 word interesting article can get u rich dividends
    cheers

    what is good for SEO in article marketing is to write naturally and try to include different versions, forms of the phrases you use in the article

    the day of keyword stuffing a keyword is gone

    so do what is natural when you write
