Minimum Number Of Words In An Article?

I have a way how to get unique content for any niche-keyword I want but the content is garbage in terms of english however it still talks about the theme!
Can I Just write small 50words long articles EXATLY about that keyword and for each article add that content with giberish english so it's 500 words unique content but because google would take only first 30words from the article to show in results no one would see before they haven't entered my website that that content sucks + I would enter somewhere between the lines of that extra content my main keyword few times in places where it fits and it should have perfect density unique content- would that be enough to rank in google?

Thanks!

I am of the opinion that when you're receiving a great quality stream of targeted traffic (from using any other method like EZA, PPC, etc.) then there is absolutely no need to keep your visitor waiting on your site - he is there not to collect more pre-sales information, which you have already achieved on your EZA article, for example). Just send him on a greater landing page at the earliest. You are sure about his intention of grabbing whatever you have told him on EZA. If you want his email address for future needs, you already have means to capture it on your article page. A related image or a video would also do the work of another 400+ words on its own. Just wanted to push my SEO efforts and really test G in a new way. Hence the use of minimum words!

BTW, I have seen one such effective page some time ago. I do not remember the exact link, but it was about some online game and was mentioned on a MicroNicheFinder example page... The writer's EZA article was extremely good, and his blog just had the bare minimum words that were quite effective in conversion, though I don't recall if his blog page had anything to do with SEO. What I am looking for is the SEO angle and possible standalone very-short articles that don't need external article marketing. As I said, this is to test G.

Thanks again! If I find the link to that MNF article, I will put it here for reference. That also was a great example of using a great product and a step-by-step focused approach showing how to begin a campaign and complete it successfully using the shortest possible route.

There's a great book called Google Best Practices Guide by Jerry West. I remember that he mentioned a survey of a huge number of No. 1 ranking pages (and sites) in the SERPS for a large variety of keywords and keyword phrases. The content varied in size and nature, as is to be expected, but the overall average was around 600 words.

Thanks for the reference. I'm reading it now... read just the first 20 pages or so, and found that it is immensely valuable! Rep+ given!



.

Here is the sample/link I mentioned in the above post:

It has only 72 words (of course there is a great EZA 1000-words article behind it's success in conversion,) and also this short article has no SEO value whatsoever. But the EZA is still ranking 5th in 1.9M, exact, even after 2-1/2 years, and that's absolutely a great article. The author, I believe, is also a BHW member.

If you read the short article carefully, you'll find the author has built his readers' trust further, and without using too many words, has despatched him immediately to convert into a customer. Was the conversion rate in high double figures? Possible and only the author can disclose that. But this is what can be achieved in less than 100 words. I want to build my site on these grounds plus using SEO.

srb888,

I just saw one thing you are getting at. I don't know if that is your main point, but it is cool.

1. Post a popular EZA article on a blog.
2. Make a second post that is nothing more than a fancied-up call to action that links to a sales page for an affiliate program. This way you let the EZA article do the heavy lifting content-wise.

That's a nice little presell strategy. You know the EZA article works for the market because it's popular and has already been tested (lots of views).

In your example, the EZA article and blog owner are the same. But how to get traffic to the blog if the article is by another person...

Here's an idea. Make it the same anyway.

You already know the stuff in the popular EZA article is what people in the market want, so change the main keyword and title, paraphrase the article until it is all unique (but keeping the essence of all facts, tips, etc.), then submit the "new" article to EZA and/or other article directories under your own name or pen name (linking to the blog home page, of course). Also, post it on the blog where the EZA article would normally go.

Then bookmark and otherwise promote the directory versions of the article, but not the blog. This way you can take advantage of the high PR ranking and prestige that article directories have so you can get good a Google SERP position. Then like in your example, when people read the article, then click on the link in the resource box, they will go to a blog that gives them the same article they just read. They won't bother with it. But they will read call to action post since that's all there is left...

Hmmmm...

You are right in many ways.

But my aim is to make my site a perfect example of an SEO site having minimum but effective words, which should be able to get organic traffic on its own in search engines. Unlike the above blogspot example, which depends upon the EZA, I want a purely standalone-type SEO site that humans will love to read -- still using minimum words. There will be also use of 'ther' methods to generate more interest. Of course, there will be use of bum marketing and other methods of backlinks generation, etc., but each article on my site will produce G effects to the maximum (using minimum words).

The above blogspot/EZA example is just to show that a 50+ words article can still produce a good and complete article, and there is no need to add words when they are not required.

This method of using just 50~75~100 words, if successful, will be useful (working on principles of Breaking NEWS), whenever I need to produce some highly-targeted lightning-fast articles within a short timeframe available.

Thanks again!


@ToxTom

My aim is to generate fast articles that have absolutely no garbage in it. Just readibility, building trust, and preselling. SEO will be embedded into it without losing the overall essence. I want a long-standing and valuable site, that's all. Just that I want to test G in a new way - using minimum words, and if that's successful then I will know exactly how to make G work for me!

Thanks again!

you can if your site has big authority in google's eyes. at least this is what i have seen.

srb888,

The only site I have seen personally that gets constant success with short posts is Seth Godin's typepad blog. But I don't know how the keyword stuff is.

Hold on...

Just for laughs, I just plugged his URL into the Google Adwords Keyword suggestion tool. The results that came up were mostly variations on his name and his books. (I am a bit surprised these terms don't get more searches than Google gives.)

You have a very interesting idea, though. And, like with the Godin example, I believe you have to factor in the celebrity element. I imagine it will be a LOT harder to rank well with very short posts if you are a nobody. I'm not sure if Google's algorithm takes that into account, but I imagine it does depending on the URL.

Here's another idea.

Google is most likely to index duplicate content if you have a lead-in. I've seen the word "sandwich" and "wrapper" used.

Basically you take an article from EZA or wherever (that uses your main keyword, of course) and post it on your blog, playing strictly by the rules. But...

You "introduce" the article with a separate unique title and a small unique blog owner's passage of say 10% of the article's word count. Then after the article, you make another comment (say another 10%).

If you are using an article of 600 words, you will do only 120 words of actual writing if you do the 10% thing: 60 at the beginning and 60 at the end.

For example,

Title: An Interesting Take On [MAIN KEYWORD]

Content beginning: "I came across this great article about [MAIN KEYWORD] and I really like it (yada yada yada...)

ARTICLE BY OTHER AUTHOR

Content ending: "So what do you think? In terms of [MAIN KEYWORD], this article was yada yada yada."

I wish I could take credit for this idea, but I have read it in several places.
