How Many Words are Enough?

[mattvectorbpo]

I would like to ask what is the recommended number of words on your page?

Thanks

Personally myself I go for 400-500 words

400-500 words per page?

Two ways of looking at this -

Enough from a User Experience point of View is in my opinion, what is needed to convey the message, whether it be with Words, Images or Design Elements. So it is completely dependent

If you are asking from a purely SEO standpoint, I am not sure there is a precise answer, but me personally from experience - if you are building a page you would like to rank well for a specific term no less than 350 - 1000 words - but I think this is completely relative - maybe if you put more about what the purpose of this page is, this might help others to understand what this page is about - and might be able to give a better "best practice" answer, as a page about a specific product would have less than a page explaining the many uses of a product line ect... And putting 500 words on a homepage might be bad for UX , but might be better for SE's - So intent is also a large factor

Hope this helps

Thank you for the inputs and feedbacks

Yeah per page, completely unique. Don't forget it can come in many forms doesn't need to be paragraph after paragraph. intro > FAQ's > spec check etc etc

pages with less than 250 words per page (and a lot of pages like that) are considered low quality sites and have a good chance of getting hit by panda.
