  Longer posts are better because they usually receive more traffic. The key to writing good posts is to not think about the length, but instead make sure they are good posts.

  I think it’s worth mentioning that sometimes you should just throw SEO out of the window for the sake of your blog. For example, my site is intended as an outlet for my creative writing and my posts tend to be 1,000 words long on average, purely because I’m not dealing in news items, oddities I found on the net or lists of links to other sites. The nature and intent of your blog often dictates which SEO points you can attend to and which you’re just going to have to ignore. Let us not worship the great god Page Rank but see it as the useful tool it is.

  All of Darren’s suggestions here match my experience. Posts on a blog on a domain I registered over ten years ago rank much higher and more quickly in the SEs then new pages and blog posts on newer domains. I’ve also learned to post one topic per post. I generally try to keep word count between 250 and 500, though I’m not insane about it. For certain blog posts, I also try to really focus on keywords.

  Another valuable trick is to ensure your keywords are in the tag and one tag of your blog post page. Darren, putting the date and byline in the and your real post title in the really need to be reversed.

  Sorry about the deleted HTML tags in my previous comment. When I mention “tag” in that post I’m referring to <h1> and <h3> tags. (I hope HTML ampersand codes work here! Why is preview disabled?)

  You don’t mention anything about the quality of the posting. Length is one aspect to get Search Engine ranking but don’t you want to convert the Click-Thrus into regulars? See my article on this topic
