Hi, My copyrighter provided me an excellent article of about 3000 words about a keyword set of my niche. I want to score high for these KW on Google. My question is: 1. put the whole article in one long page or 2. split the article in 3-4 pages. or maybe another suggestion? hanks.
I would rather have 6-8 individual 375-500 word articles each targetting a different keyword phrase than to have one 3000 word article targetting 6-8 different keyword phrases. Then I can not only focus the content of each of those 6-8 pages on one keyword phrase... but I get a complete set of on-page SEO factors like <title>, <h1>, <h2>s, keyword rich URL, etc. for each of those pages that can also be focused on that same targetted keyword phrase. It's ALWAYS easier to make multiple pages each rank for a single keyword phrase than it is to make a single page rank for multiple keyword phrases.
Let say you submit this article in different article sites, example would be in Ezinearticles... Ezinearticles only accepts 2(or 3?) links in the body and 2 links in the resource box: Scenario 1: 3000 words in 1 article = 4 links total Scenario 2: 4 articles with roughly more than 500 words x 4 links = 16 links total
Sorry. Maybe I wasn't clear enough. The whole article is optimize for my keywords (something like for example "read english books"). If i split in 4 articles, all these articles are going to be with the same KW. Moreover, I need this content on my site and will not publish it on an article site. Thanks.
The article should not longer than 500 words, the ideal one will be 400-500 words. That's the best model.
If that complete article is targeting same keyword or keyword phrases you can use it on a single page. Google give high consideration to content rich page.
