How many words should a blog post be for SEO?

Research consistently shows that long-form content ranks better. For competitive topics, aim for 1,500-2,500 words. For informational content, 800-1,500 words. Google favors comprehensive content that fully answers the search query.

How long does it take to read 1,000 words?

The average adult reads about 200-250 words per minute. So 1,000 words takes approximately 4-5 minutes to read. This tool calculates reading time automatically based on standard reading speeds.

What is keyword density and what percentage is ideal?

Keyword density is how often your target keyword appears as a percentage of total words. For SEO, aim for 1-2% density — enough to signal relevance without keyword stuffing. E.g., in a 1,000-word article, your keyword should appear 10-20 times.

How many words is the Twitter/X character limit?
