Thanks for the insights. I tend to err on the too long side. I have been using wordcounthq.com to help me shorten my social content, based on the learnings from this post.

This “more is better” mentality collides with the fact most people don’t really need 1,300 words to say what they need to and it shows. I see a lot of fluff and redundancy for the sake of hitting some threshold people assume lends their writing some sort of legitimacy.

I was told to mix it up just as you can rank for a 500 word count, 1000, 25000 or 5000 words it comes down to being relevant, informative and an engaging article.

Don’t fill it with fluff for the sake of it and adding to get word count.

Very useful tips as I start my legal blog. As my topics are not easy to condense, I was relieved to learn that longer blog pieces are more than OK!
Thanks very much for sharing.

This is such an interesting topic and as a freelance writer and blogger, I have covered it several times. I still have clients that think they can gain first page Google ranking with 300-word blog posts. It’s amazing how they think like it’s 2010 still.

There isn’t a right or wrong answer here, but anything less than 1,000 words is most-likely a waste of time. I like to look at the length of the top 10 pages on Google for my main keyword and try to beat them all.

Yes, you are right, wort count isn’t the only thing that matters, but it is one of the factors we have control over.

Long blog posts can create a good client base. They can increase your audience and the reading time. Amazing blog though. Thanks for the information
