Are Your Blog Posts Long Enough?
Blogging isn’t rocket science. As the business becomes more competitive and more and more bloggers enter the “blogosphere,” the competition for your important keywords will get stiffer and stiffer. There are some things you can do to give you the competitive edge. The first among these is to be the first to start your blog.
Age factors are important and if you get a leg up on the competition you’ll be doing yourself well. Also, the more often you blog the better your advantage. The next thing is the length of posts - but only if the posts are optimized well. The more content you have on your website - any website - if the content is optimized properly, the better your chances of ranking for your important keywords. That doesn’t mean you have to write a book. It just means you need important and valuable, unique content. Are your blog posts long enough?
When I say “long enough,” I’m simply talking about more than just a couple of sentences. Every blog post doesn’t have to be 1,000 words. But neither should they be a mere 200 words. Optimally, all of your blog posts will be between 300 and 500 words, but longer posts to give you more potential. If you write really long posts, break them up into sections. Each section should have a subhead that includes your keyword. That will further optimize your blog post and give you another advantage. When it comes to competitive blogging, every advantage counts.
