I personally like to switch up the word count lengths for my website content. I think it looks more natural to Google when website content is not all the exact word count. For example, some articles I have written are 750 words, some are 1000 and some are 2000. In my opinion, varying the lengths of your website content is an important factor in receiving high Google rankings.

If the content is purely for social media then the length can vary to best suit the audience.

For affiliate websites a minimum of 6,000 words.

Yes, there are websites ranking well with a less amount of content, but in our opinion, it’s hard to “overdue” content on a website.

Likewise, there is no general format for optimisation. SEO requires on-the-toes work-flow.

Nowadays people don’t tend to read long content. Yet, I believe that it also depends on the things they are looking for, their interest in a matter.
