Whats the minium amount of words an article can be to be submitted to directories such as ezine.com, articlealley.com etc- how many words? What's the minimum amount of word article that they accept? how many words? (even if it is approximation on the amount of words) thanks....
It varies from directory to directory but on an average, a well-compiled and informative article of around 400words is okay!
I don't know the minimum word amount but articles that are too long or too short don't do very well, people either think its not worth reading or can't be bothered reading such a huge article. What I suggest you do is write no more than 600 words, if there's more just get all of the best information and cut the article down.
I've seen 300 words article inside ezinearticles.com. So my guess is, 300 - 500 words per article is sufficient.
Hi - It depends on the article directory that you are submitting to. Each one is a bit different. For example, I believe (if I remember correctly) that Associated Content requires about 500 words (it might be 400). I would first create your accounts with the services/sites that you want to become a member of, and then do a look through the FAQ or do a search in help. 300-500 words for a single article is ideal for the search engines. Less or more than that margin is not likely to be S/E "friendly".
