Ideal Length For a Blog Post

[Kane]

What is the ideal length of a blog post? Some people think, long articles are not good because readers find long articles boring, therefore, they do not read long articles. However, some people think long articles are the ideal length for a blog post because you can provide a lot of information, and search engines also love your long articles.

It depends if the blog post is talking generalities then 100-word article is enough or if detailing technical terms then 500 words article is appreciable because it needs more explication.

I think the length of a blog post must be at least between 500-1000 words. But it shouldn't be written like an essay or with long paragraphs. Sentences must be short, with some gap between lines, and each paragraph must be of 2-3 short sentences. So, that the readers don't find it boring or lengthy.

Reading articles that are very long can be very tedious and people generally don't have a very long attention span and as a result it is important that I think it stays under 200 words because that should be enough in order to get the message across and at the same time not lose people.

Well, that depends on the type of blog you have. Usually you want longer articles, because it keeps people there a bit longer. But shorter blog posts are fine too. As long as you're not writing a book, you should be fine. For the most part, I think an article of 500 words or more is ideal.

I think 500 words is an optimal length for a blog. Some of the paragraphs should be short and some should be long in order to stimulate the reader’s interest and ensure the content is not too boring.

As against the believe of many people, long articles are actually better than short articles. Google algorithm is configured to give more preference to long articles. Google is search engine. And if people search for a something on google, it believed that the person need it. So google will now try to satisfy them by giving them the long articles they believe cover everything about it.

I do not think that a blog post or an article should contain too many words or be lengthy. Wordy articles are not that great fro SEO and concise article are much better.

People generally don't have a very long attention span, and reading articles that are very long can be very tiresome. For these reasons, I believe it is crucial that the article stay under 200 words because that should be sufficient to convey the message without alienating readers.

Humans generally don't have very long attention spans, and reading very long articles can be very tiring. For these reasons, I think it's important to keep the article within her 200 words, just enough to get the message across without alienating the reader.

There are many people who would generally lose interest in reading lengthy articles. However, really dedicated people would even read the whole book in a few weeks!

i believe the length of the article should depend on what you are writing on and how descriptive you intend on writing about the topic as well, so it should not just be about the length of the article but the motive as well.

The length of a blog post should depend on the topic being discussed on the blog. I believe it shouldn't be too long though because it might be boring to users. I believe the ideal length of a blog post should be not more than 500 words.

These kind of things will be dependent on your intended use of the blog or what you're aiming to achieve with the post. Though it has recently shown humans don't fancy long texts anymore so say 700 words will be okay.

If you check the top ranking articles on Google, you will see that these articles are very long. Having a long article that is well written and well formatted brings a lot of traffic
