Im getting my site refreshed…Is it recommend that I have some text just for SEO on my root page? The design will not look as good but some people say you should have at least 250 word on it.

We are planning to rendering our website and targeting content mainly to drag relevant visitor on the website ..I love the lines “You certainly don’t want to see your visitors land on your home page and immediately bounce off of it. Your goal is to get your readers to go deeper into your site to learn more about how you can help them with the products/services you provide.

I read an article by an SEO pro recently that discussed some tests with content length. They tried various tests with the same keywords and meta data and the longer copy out-performed the shorter in search engines. I can’t find the link now otherwise I’d post it…sorry people.

We need to get a sensible balance between quantity of content for SEO performance and quantity of content for usability. Personally, I don’t like sales pages to be more than around 500 words (including the call to action). Blog articles I don’t mind being longer if they are interesting.

HATE videos unless they are for entertainment. Give me transcripts every time.

Hi, Rohan!

Thanks for the post!

You may want to run an usability test to determine how much content your audience will (comfortably) read. That way, you have real data to work with – and then it’s easy to backtrack and determine the SEO/page template strategy. :)

Hey Heather
Interesting topic. In fact the other day I was trying to get some info about this topic. There were a lot of discussions I found on the internet where people are arguing about not the word limit but the content in terms of Kbs.

The debate is whether Google reads content on a webpage after the first 100 Kbs or not. Even if it does, is it advisable to have such a large amount of content on a webpage?

After hours of scouring the web, I found nothing concrete but only people cursing about each other’s lack of knowledge.

Hey Heather!

Great advice about the call to action statements. Do you find it hard to write 250 words – or are the hotels so fabulous that it makes it easy? :)
