i wish to know that after the latest google update what is the minimum word count for an article to perform on search engines.

Earlier it was 400 words for an article to perform. So has it changed-- increased or decreased, let me know as i usually keep up with my rankings with articles only

    Hi Nicole,

    600 is a generally accepted minimum count but if you want to impress Google, aim for 1000 words to 1500 words.

    More than anything though just write helpful articles designed to solve your reader's problems and do so persistently.

      You must be making ZERO money online..

      All my pages have 37k - 70k words.

      1500 words. was back in 2000..

      Aim for 37k - 70k words (I would say over 100k, but anything past 70k sets off the google spider trip wire. and flags your site for spam.

      SEO in 2000 - 500 word minimum
      SEO in 2018 - 50,000 word minimum


      Ps:
      I think ryan is broke. wouldn't listen to that guy.

    and you still didn't figure up what are best numbers to work with?

    But then again, what can you expect from posts made by one of these Russian Bots
