Ah, thanks so much for the kind words Courtney. Good luck with your blog as well 🙂

Ah, thank you for the kind words, Ruhi! 🙏

You’re so welcome, Dipak! Good luck with your blog 🙂

Thanks for the kind words! Unfortunately, I don’t believe there’s a super simple answer to your question… there are definitely a LOT more factors involved (how competitive the search terms are, what the search intent is for an average reader, on-page SEO factors with both your article and the overall site, how much monthly search volume there is, etc). So, there’s no worthwhile answer as simple / straightforward as you’re hoping for.

That being said, here’s my quick take:

For a keyword phrase with low-medium competition: I’d take my chances with super long-form content and a small number of quality backlinks.

For a keyword phrase with medium or high competition: Give me the shorter-form piece, but make sure it earns a substantial number of quality links (relatively quickly).

I am an avid reader of your blog post for last 6 months. These write-up always stimulate me to upgrading and learning new things.

Waiting for the next…

Really it helps a lot to a new blogger like me.

I found most of your articles are super lengthy. And I know it is a strategic key to your success. But here, I have a question.

“A page of 1500 words has nearly 30 backlinks and on another side, a 4000-word article has only 5 or no backlinks.”

Which post ranks high on Google? In simple words Backlinks VS page content.
