Optimum Page Length
Hi all-

I've been doing some research on SEO and am trying to figure out what search engines like in terms of page length(content word count). Might anyone know where to find such information or have it themselves? Thanks a lot.

All the experts will tell you that 200 - 500 words is an acceptable page word count per page. My experience has been that this is true.

content length is insignificant in ranking page results. I'd spend more time on keyword density, keyword location and keyword distribution.

And this will be easier to achieve if you have 200 - 500 words on a page
