@Rita: there is no hard and fast rule that dictates that posts with X words or less rank lower in Google.

What happens is that longer posts make it easier for the search engine to know what the page is about (through the use of headings and the frequent repetition of key phrases).

Also, longer content tends to attract more links, and search engines use links as “votes” for the page that is linked to, which enhances the page’s authority and ranking.

But all this is due to the way search engines work, and not because Google or any other SE has decided to “penalize” short posts.

I read the other day posts less than 250 words get lower ranking on Google. Has anyone else heard of this?

Thanks for the shout out!

I would caution those going the short post route
that it messes with search engine traffic
(not a concern for my blog
as I’m not too concerned with traffic).

It also means that I happily send
most of my traffic away
(links to longer articles on the same topic).

But that said,
if you’re writing for busy execs
and businessfolk
and want to see the same faces every day,
shorter is more suitable.
