    It really depends how conversational your article is, I really can't stand an average info article for more then 1 minute.

    Any length is acceptable if the content of the article is interesting and is able to catch the readers attention. But normally any article should have quality information within 500-600 words, if not descriptive.

    It really depends on the subject. I tend to stick to articles of around 500-600 words for my blog but then if the topic is really interesting, I'm happy to read articles of around 800 words. Of course some topics don't have a lot that can be said about them so posts of around 300-400 words are also okay if they contain decent photos to back the post up.

    300 -> 500 words, but it depends on the subject of your article

    It always comes down to your niche.. Some niches are more technical and requires great explanation for the readers to understand. Certain niches doesn't require much explanation so we can keep the content for it.. Doing a deep research on what you're readers and visitors looking for will be the most essential way to know how long the content need to be within your website :)

    400 to 500 words will be ideal for blogs and article submission.

    The difference between reading and writing articles is completely different for me.

    I have trouble writing articles any shorter than 800 words, but I usually can't stay focused on reading an article longer than ~500 words.

    I'm weird I guess...

    Hii,

    I think length does not matter because if your topic is new and interesting then anyone wants to read more and more.......Articles depend upon quality not quantity.
