I sometimes like to re-publish my articles/posts on article sites like EzineArticles, et al. For backlinks and all that, you know…

And some of those sites have a minimum word requirement of 450 per article.

So, short posts are fine, but if you plan to re-purpose your writing and syndicate it around the ‘web, it saves you some trouble if you keep ‘em 450+.

I try to think SEO with every post cause Im all about traffic but make it readable like you said. Remember a human being is gonna read it not a bot. But try to optimize as much as you can.

Great post thanks…..

I guess it depends what kind of site you have. If it is an authority styled site then I would say just write what you want in however many words (on the theme of course) but if you are targeting a specific product or service and the site is going to be left to fend for itself soon after then you need to think about SEO …I think.
