Aaron Wall has an excellent write up named Optimal Word Count & Web Page Copy Length. In short, Aaron explains that there is “no universal correct or incorrect answer to how much content is right.” Aaron then goes through tips on how to write good content, that is easy to read and “optimized for user experience.” The article is worth a read. Not only does it detail what type of content search engines may like, but it also gives examples by publishing format.
