Is word counts still important?

SuccessIsTheOnlyOption · Jul 21, 2020

For example, I write review articles for the products and I want to get ranked on the 1st page of Google.

Do word counts still matter in your article?

I am planning to always write 500-800 word articles for my blog.

I stick to that word count as well in most niches that aren't too competitive and only go higher if I really feel the need for it.

Actual content before fluff. Google is getting better at detecting this IMO, and probably will with time as well.

It depends on the keyword and competitor. If you search a keyword and all of the results on the first page are over 1000 words, you need to be in that same word-range to rank.

yes word count part of seo , but quilty more of a issue , cutting shit out helps .

let say your comp got a 1000 worded article , but it full of shit no appeal for the niche .

you using in depth understandable article, will beat the comp.

the idea is writing with proof in mind ,meaning it real what your saying, and explined easly .

500 - 800 is top less go for 2 - 3k for review blogs

Md Shifat · Jul 22, 2020

of course, 500 - 1000 is for single product reviews or quick overview type and comparison reviews should be at least 3k word.

It depends on the keywords/competitors, if you publish 2-3 articles per week, then try to make 1000+ words.

Lattysolutions · Jul 22, 2020

try to make it over 2k worded article..at the same time it should look natural & real not stuffed.

Digirulz · Jul 22, 2020

It depends on competition and 1000+ words are good with quality and informative content.

Turbo SEO · Jul 22, 2020

If your niche is highly competitive, make sure your article word count is 800 - 1000, if its niche is low competitive then word count of 500 + would be good

Infatica · Jul 22, 2020

Our best-performing content is usually 1,500+ or even 2,000+ words. However, I wouldn't attribute the results to word count alone: Content quality and overall reading experience, imo, is more important.

MisterXYZ · Jul 22, 2020

I think 800-1000 words for single product review should be fine.

You can go big for money article.

Word count is important because it helps you select your readers and Long-Form Content Ranks Higher

ChrisChozzer · Jul 22, 2020

I would suggest you use Surfer SEO and get the exact word count you need

Lady Trieu · Jul 22, 2020

It depends on the competitors keyword, if your niche is highly competitive, then you have to add maximum 1000 words to give better content.

MisterF · Jul 22, 2020

There are some recent case studies showing the correlation between ranking positions and word count in articles.

If I can dig them out I'll share them, but longer articles of good quality work well, just don't fill them with fluff to pad them out.

miyuru2u · Jul 22, 2020

Yes go for more than 1000 words per article

HustleTong · Jul 22, 2020

800w/article is a decent choice. Try to focus 2kws per article.

cyz · Jul 22, 2020

It depends on competition

chipsie1102 · Jul 22, 2020

There's been plenty of studies that have shown the higher the serp position, the higher the word count (im not saying if you add thousands of words you'll magically rank #1)

just make sure that if you do long-form content, the extra words actually serve a purpose and you're not just fluffing it up with useless or repeated statements.
