There is a general saying that the more content your page has, the better it ranks on google. Do you think it is TRUE or FALSE?
In my opinion, a webpage does have higher chance to rank better if there are more seo based content than not. The probability to rank for more keywords also increase as you cover more sub topics in that article.

Very interesting topic on the word count of seo content. I always thought and hear that the more the better. It cost more in terms of time and money when outsourcing a longer article vs a short one. However, I think the general guideline is to write more than the Top 5 current sites. That should be enough.
I am following this seo channel recently..nice to see you posting about it…lots of seo myths uncovered in this channel.
Noope…not really… ONpage SEO is good as well.
