The amount of text on your page is a large factor in ranking within search engines. If you have a page that is just consisting of a couple sentences, it will not be enough content to properly describe your page. As we have noted in other articles, using keywords in your articles play a large role. Now with only a few sentences, you will not be able to accomplish much.

Search engines favor sites that have high content. Please remember that your content needs to be unique. If you have a well written article that isn’t around, google will favor it as oppossed to just giving the same information that a million other websites have.

The optimum page size is 500 – 3000 words. If you were counting by characters this would be within the range of 2,000 to 20,000 characters. Your visibility within the search engines is maximized by how much content you have. The search engine might bring up pieces of information in your article on accident which can bring you a lot of traffic with a larger article.

Make your page friendly to search engines and to readers.
