Ever wake up one morning and think to yourself:
“Jeepers self, I so wish I could make Google and other search engines happy enough that my blog posts would always rise to the top for key queries!”
And it’s understandable that you’d yearn for such a gift… after all, the higher your blog posts show up on search engines, the more organic traffic you’ll receive!
That’s why you’ll enjoy the following article (and be sure to return here for even more superb blog SEO resources) will appeal to you:

One of the more interesting parts includes:
“…For SEO, the ideal blog post length should be 2,100-2,400 words, according to HubSpot data. We averaged the length of our 50 most-read blog posts in 2019, which yielded an average word count of 2,330. Individual blog post lengths ranged from 333 to 5,581 words, with a median length of 2,164 words.
But before you go writing your 2,300 word blog post, keep in mind that not all blog posts need to be super long — in fact, 16 of our top 50 read posts (or about one-third) were under 1,500 words, so there’s still plenty of opportunity to get your posts ranking even with a lower word count….”
I don’t know about you, but I look at the above and think….
“Numbers. Tooooo many numbers.”
And have you ever even *tried* to write for search engines instead of people?
Honestly… it’s not a wise thing (as Google rules keep changing faster than you can shake a coffeecup at).
Thus, instead of thinking “numbers”… think instead “valuable content of varying lengths that get people coming back again and again.”
Back when I was serious about search engine rankings, I would write volumes and volumes of excellent educational, humorous and downright profitable content. The best examples of those goodies were called ‘pillar articles’.
Pillar articles give a great overall explanation from soup to nuts about the topic in question. And that’s why they’re so effective for human readers – when they start reading the content, they’ll feel fully satisfied with their experience on your site.
Writing the best possible blog posts is a topic that could be used as a blueprint or cheatsheet as well! You could structure it like so:
Step 1.) Research your blog post topic
Step 2.) Review blog post templates
Step 3.) Write your post and release it upon the waiting world!
