Should I divide a 3000+ words review ?

Valkurm · Jan 4, 2014

Hi there,

I don't know how I should approach that in order to get the best results for ranking. I have an article which is between 3 to 4k words, a full and detailed review.
Should I post the whole review in just one article with multiples pictures etc, or should I post maybe 4 articles of 750 words for example with "Go next" after each one ?

Others reviews on my website are generally 700-1500 words and are always on 1 page.

If I choose the second option, how should I title my different pages ? Like "XXXX Review - Page 1, 2, 3 etc.." ? Also should I write different meta desc. for each pages of the same original article ?

Well, any advice is welcome.

I think it would be better to post it in a single one, you could divide the article with css( google's will be still able to see it, but your user wont) if you really wanted. But if you made pages like 1,2,3,4 It would result in keyword stuffing( titles,widgets,recent posts etc.). I would just post that whole article as a whole.

Any other opinion on that ?

Greatly depends on topic, but if it's possible to separate it, I would go for two 1500+ words interlinked articles, since 3K+ is too much. I have same results as you with 1200 words articles/reviews, with a low amount of backlinks pointing to them.

3000 is way to much, if I was reading a review 3000 words might scare me away but it's also good since you'll have a lot of info in one spot. Instead of going to different sites for more info it would be easier if all of the info was in one spot so I guess one 3000 word article is better.

If you can write a specific title for different keyword for each part I would divide it in even 5-6 parts.

I'd go with one article, 3000 words is not a great deal. Your 3000 word review is probably better than most competitors 750 word reviews!! So hopefully Google will think the same

If the work is high quality, you're selling yourself short by using it as one giant article. Personally, I would separate it by the specific aspect of the product you are discussing instead of dividing it by word count. I think that it will be more coherent and logical that way. As it is currently, I would imagine that most customers would be turned off by such a giant wall of text.

Like others have said, 3k is a lot of words for one review. It would be best to spearate it into at least 3 categories and put the content on different pages

If the article is reviewing just 1 product, you could split it into 2 articles, however, would it make sense? Im guessing you'd have to rewrite sections of it in order to make sense.

Are the 3000 words you have quality or waffle? I bet with some editing you could trim a few hundred words.

If its an article comparing numerous products, stick with it as it is in my opinion.

Should I divide a 3000+ words review ?
