We've been hearing lately that blog posts need to be 1,000 to 1,500 words long for SEO, and my question was "What about the readers? Will actual people take the time to read that much?"
Neil Patel has the answer to that and 6 more questions about content marketing in this morning's Quick Sprout blog post.
It's worth your time to read, because you just might be doing some of the things that he says will harm you rather than help.
A reminder before I go - Neil writes about the mistakes you can make in placing your content. I believe he assumes that you'll do what I harp about all the time:
- Keep your paragraphs short
- Leave some white space
- Use subheads and bullet points
- Check your spelling
- Check your grammar
- Check your word choice
- Proofread for typos
If you follow Neil's 7 points and my 7 points, you'll have content that people will both see and read.
