Hi

I wonder what people think the best article or review length is in words. I'm referring to articles & reviews made on article sites and blogs to get back links and bring in customers.

For me the big question is will more customers come if you have plenty of content in the article or should it be short and sweet so they will actual read it.

I think it mustn't be long as it distracts attention. But at the same time it must be informative enouph.

i agree with tanja on having articles as informative as possible... personally i read long articles if it has something to 'say'. but no use in stretching it if you can get your point across with a couple of paragraphs...

but i heard that people tend to stay away from lengthy articles, that people decide whether to read an article or not, at 'first glance'. so instead of writing one massive paragraph break it into several paragraphs... i also heard that it's best to make reviews that are concise; and try to include bullet points, pros and cons of the product - because people usually want to get straight to the most important details when reading reviews...

Don't keep on thinking on how long I should write, but how good I should write.

You just write when u feel u still have things to say, but stop when u feel nothing more to say.

It is the best, I guess.

According to me,the articles and reviews must be informative,It should be of medium length.but on the quality of the content no compromise.

I think about 350 words in an article is appropriate as long as it contains all the information. Readers should be able to understand what you intend to say...so make it short and sweet.

Did u mean u write review for certain products?

But as long as u tried the product, it should be a question at all. If u have alot suggestions about the product, then make it long. If not, short!@

Just write your true feelings!
