SEO Tip: Plenty of Content, but not too much

September 9, 2016 by Sybre Waaijer
Updated October 2, 2018

This tip has been brought with version 2.3.6 of The SEO Framework.

Make sure you have plenty of content for your visitors to read. About 600 to 1900 words of content per page is recommended.

Your content is for your visitors, not for search engines.

So, do not split up content if it exceeds the recommended amount. If a piece of text can’t support itself, readers won’t understand the subject and will leave your website.

If you have fewer words but you’ve covered everything that needed to be covered for the page, don’t extend it just for the sake of SEO. Do not over-optimize.

    That’s the trick…having too much can detract while having enough is required for both valuable content to the visitor and quantifiable content for search engines.
