What is the ideal blog length that you'd prefer to read?

I personally like short posts packed with value. But as someone who works in SEO, I understand the value of balancing it between what the user wants and what Google is ranking. If you have to write a long article, make sure you add a TLDR recap and table of contents at the start so readers can get a quick overview and jump to the area of their interest. A lot of people ask me "how much content should I write to rank for this topic/keyword". We can go with the 2000 word suggestions, but if the websites that are ranking on page #1 have over 4k words of content, it's going to be little thought to compete (assume they all have good quality content). So to help with this, I added a cool feature to the rank tracking tool of our SEO software, which checks on average how much content you need to write to rank for a specific keyword. We basically analyze all websites on page #1 of Google and calculate an average word count.

In my case - there are 2 perspectives. As a reader - it really depends on the topic. If I'm interested it can be over 2k words. If I just want to extract useful information, I prefer shorter posts. However, recently I started writing some short texts and I'm still not sure how long each article should be. Great topic, cheers!

Personally I wouldn't care about the length and just focus on quality. I keep reading as long as it's worth reading!

I have the attention span of a mouse, 5 min read tops!

3minutes. We have found the following works super well for an engaging blog: 1. Powerful intro hook: One should always start by telling the interesting part of the blog and why should the reader devote the next 3 minutes to the blog. 2. Should read like a story: We as humans connect to stories. A blog which reads like that performs well. 3. Crisp & active voice: Passive voice is hard to read 4. And proper backlinks and credits. Creators when credited tend to give you backlinks when they write their own pieces.
