How many blog posts per page are enough?

[casper434]

Any thoughts on how many blog posts per page are enough for SEO? Assume about 800-900 words per post.

Each page on your site will ideally focus on keyword. You only get one page title and one main header tag per page. The content contained on the page should focus the main keyword. With this best practice in mind, normally one blog post would be contained per page.

You can offer a category type of page, but the focus of that page is the category. A category page would often contain snippets from several blog articles.

I do think that everything above 600 words can be good. It really depends how competitive the keyword you are competing for is? It it is a really competitive one you better have more words and a few different headings.

Usually article directories are not letting you submit an article that is less than 400-450 words without the summary, heading and resource box ( or article bio) being counted. The average length of a press release is about 800 words. Wikipedia articles are usually longer than that but they are much more informative.

the keyword is moderately competitive in our area

To be honest you can have a post with great images and only 200 words of content and it will do better then a long post of 1000 words.

Really just aim to make blog posts with over 200 words is my advice, take note of sites like Mashable they have 200 words and video content and it goes viral like crazy.

For who you write? for example a medical article or a diet articule with just 200 words won´t rank good in Google, some times you need to be more specific when you write content all depends of who are you readers. Regards,
