While there are many contributing factors to search ranking, length of content plays an important role. The ideal length of content varies based on channel and is an easy piece to control.

The internet has become such an integral part of lives that, unless it’s time to generate copy of our own, we don’t really think about why we’re seeing what we’re seeing. Or really even what caught our eye in the first place. Do we even think about why we read something in its entirety or stop halfway through?

When we have something to say, we want to be heard. Content is pushed through so many channels and there are multiple components to each. For instance, what is the ideal length of the title of a blog post? How long should the actual article be? And how about the subject line of the email announcing the blog post? Further, attention spans are somewhat dependent of the channel in which content is being consumed.
