Article length
Generally speaking it is harder to rank well for very short stubby articles.
However, I do rank well for two very competitive searches on social issues and my articles take throw everything but the kitchen sink at them approach. So the articles are long in length. I also well cite my material and pick good sources. Those articles took a lot of work to do though. I also am not sure how many people read much of the longest of those articles I created as I do not have the data as I hosted the material at a website I do not own. In general people do hava a habit of skimming and reading internet articles by reading the title sections they are interested inand then reading those sections. However, the articles in question do get a lot of clicks on the articlea as I have access to the webpage counters. By the way, one of the reasons I took a throw everything at them but the kitchen sink approach is that I wanted to create a one stop shopping approach as far as the relevant information plus I figured a throw everything at them but the kitchen sink approach would get a lot of publicity and the article would rank high at the search engines. At the time I wrote those articles my knowledge of search engine optimization was much more limited but I did have good research skills compared to most people.
SEO expert Aaron Wall of [http://www.seobook.com/4515.html SEO Book] states the page length should be optimized for the user experience. Aaron Wall states at [http://www.seobook.com/4515.html SEO Book] that "Since Google's relevancy algorithms are looking more for natural writing, the value of having small hyper-focused pages is not as good as it once was...good copy gets just as much traffic for long tail keywords you didn't intend on optimizing for."
