Dear [FIRSTNAME],

You’ve decided to create content for your web pages, but aren’t

sure how many words each page should have to ensure that search

engines and visitors come back often. It’s a dilemma that many

web site owners face. They don’t want to have too little words,

but they don’t want to have too many words, either. It’s a

delicate balance that every web site owner has to know in order

to have a site that is search engine optimized and visitor

friendly. In this newsletter, we will discuss the appropriate

length for pages, and the reason why your pages should adhere to

this length requirement.

What is a good length for pages?

Ideally, each page should have at least 700 words, but no more

than 1500 words. Anything less than 700 words and search engine

spiders might just skip over your site entirely; anything more

than 1500 and spiders won’t take the time to search through the

content for keywords.

When I write the content, what should I strive to do?

You should strive to write content that is entertaining and easy

to read. Don’t drone on and on just to meet the 700 word

requirement. Find things to talk about that are relevant to your

site and come up with ways to say them in a concise manner.

Remember that search engine bots aren’t the only thing to come

to your site-people are also coming to your site and they will

want to read content that makes them want to visit again. Aim to

please them first, then the search engine bots.

How do I please search engine bots?

Pleasing search engine bots is as simple as having 700+ words of

content and some keywords sprinkled into your content. Keywords

are words that the search engine bots immediately spot and use

to figure out how to rank your site. In a document of 700 words,

you’ll want to have at least 7 keywords, but preferably around

21, throughout your content. When using keywords, make sure to

sprinkle them naturally throughout the document so that you do

not distract your reader from what the content is about.

Why should I have pages with content between 700 and 1500 words?

The reasons for this are simple. Having pages with content of

700-1500 words will please visitors and search engine spiders.

Pleasing both will help your site attract more traffic and

become successful.

Visitors who come to your site want to see useful content. If

your content is short, chances are, it’s not very useful to

visitors. Good content is content that is worthwhile to read and

tells the visitor something they don’t already know. It must be

packed with information and details. Few can accomplish this in

less than 700 words, which is why it is often necessary to use

that many words.

However, it is also important not to be too wordy with your

content. People want to be able to quickly get the content they

need. They don’t want to read through hundreds of words of fluff

in order to get what they came for. So be concise and try to

make sure your content doesn’t go over 1500 words.

Spiders who come to your site want to have a good amount of

content to “chew” on. That is, they want to have enough content

to report back to the search engine database. Less than 700

words really isn’t enough content for a spider to bring back to

a search engine database, so spiders tend to ignore pages with

under 700 words.

Spiders, much like human visitors, also don’t like pages with

excessive amounts of words. Pages with 1500 words are usually a

big turnoff to spiders, and even if a spider does visit the

page, chances are they won’t report the contents of the page

back to the search engine database for which they work. That is

why you must strive to be concise not just for human visitors,

but for the robot(spider) visitors as well.

If you are able to limit your pages to between 700 and 1500

words, you will do well with human visitors and search engine

spiders. That’s the goal of every web site owner and should be

your goal as well.

To your success,

[YOUR NAME HERE]

P.S. Writing content between 700-1500 words is easy as long as

you come up with good content to write about and try to be as

concise as possible. It’s just that easy!
