We all know that modern SEO needs content to be successful. You can’t rely on the same old tricks when search engines were first made, but need to make creative and original content for your SEO to thrive. But it’s important to wonder, and to question, how long should the content and blog posts that I write be?

In other words, if you’re just going to inflate your word count to appear as if you’ve wrote a lot, then you’re going about it all wrong. Search engines like Google will dismiss you in a heartbeat, and you’ll find your rankings no better than before. All in all it would have been wasted time and effort.
