dear all plz help me to write that i want to know that i am writing a content for my sites but i don/t know that how many words can i write in a single page ?
As many are appropriate for your content and readership.
Limit the number of words that occupy a full page of the computer screen; or in other words limit the range between 250 and 400 words so that the visitors need not scroll too much down to read the contents…
While it’s true that I wouldn’t want people to have to scroll a lot. I wouldn’t them to have a lot of pages to click through either.
I have heard that search spiders only do the first ### words but I forgot what the numbers were for the different search engines, and it was a while ago so I imagine the numbers, whatever they were, have since changed.
I think the best advice I’ve read was to put enough, and just enough, content on a page so that it’s coherent. Just like you would break up an outline or your content under headings and subheadings, similarly a page should make sense, not have too many (if any) tangential topics, at stop at a good stopping point.
If starting a topic, discussing it, and bringing it to a conclusion fits on one page, good, if not break it down into more manageable pieces so readers won’t become fatigued reading it.
as many as necessary and as few as possible
I also heard that spiders only crawl first 200 words, but I think this is available only for small SE, when it comes to Google for example it might be wrong.
Any other thoughts about how many words spiders do or there aren’t any rules for this issue?
Even i need answer for the question. Is there word limit in a page?
Would appreciate valid answers.
Thnks in advance.
nope
Why does this matter? You write content for humans to read, not search spiders.
As many as you want. The more the merrier as they say. If you have more words or other contents on your site, the search engine spiders will love it and it can categorize your page on the search results and will give it appropriate rankings for your target keywords.
I just looked at the example links Dan Grossman posted.
Using “Word Count” the short piece has
1 Page, 2 Paragraphs, 12 Lines and 151 Words
The long have
9 Pages, 66 Paragrahs, 464 Lines and 5,951 Words
23 Pages, 217 Paragraphs, 1,215 Lines and 15,805 Words
So you can see there’s plenty of room for artistic judgement. IMHO as long as you have good headings and the content is well written and organized, there shouldn’t be any problem for your readers being able to get to what they’re most interested in if they don’t/can’t read the entire page.
As for search bots, you want interested readers to find your page, and the bots will take of that for you as long as you don’t have a lot of non-topic content cluttering things up.
There’s real jeopardy here of straying from an SEO discussion to content writing. And nobody wants the topic of writing to mar a perfectly good SEO discussion.
What can word counts do for you, in writing terms? It can enforce the editing function, which is sadly lacking on the web. A lot of what would otherwise be fair writing can become quite good through editing.
I have seen a few blog posts of 7,000 words. I have also seen some blog post just less than 20 words.
It really depends what you want, traffic and/or seo. Some blogs have a big readerbase, so you do not need to write much, and the readers will add many comments.
Well personally I keeps the length on one page to 25–400.The more word does not means its a good article,it distracts users and then they got bored.
May be some picture in between will do well.
Be sure your page will be loaded completely as soon as possible.
I guess
I’ve never really considered the amount of text content to be a big player in page load times. Any references as to how much it takes to start being a problem?

I’m glad someone said this. It’s time that all the SEO gurus kept their posts in the SEO forum and gave writers and aspiring writers the chance to use this one.
I have to agree. If we start limiting ourselves with the content, we will not only limit the information we are giving our visitors, but we limit the opportunity to appear as an authority. Now, we also have to make certain the words are phrased adequately and the content placed on the site is coherent, conveys a message and the keywords are placed in well structured sentences.
I prefer to scroll on one page, than click though to multiple pages.
