in-depth articlesWhat is it that we usually do when we don’t know something? Or are confused about certain facts? We Google it. Google has become the equivalent of being a know it all. Earlier when we used to search for certain things on Google, the search results used to be keyword intensity based and not based on the quality of content each website presented. This was a problem for those who were searching for quality content and also for those who write good articles. This is why Google came up with the concept of in-depth articles. It basically refers to content that is not produced just to attract online traffic and customers but good quality content that is 2000 to 5000 words long.

So, now if you do a search, you will not just get articles that are keyword rich you searched, in fact you will get a preview of your search such as a brief description, a few pictures (thumbnails) and a title. This would give you a better view of what you are looking for without having to open multiple tabs or clicking on different links. Big brands online have an edge over the others as they tend to dominate the search results and get more online traffic. Lesser known blogs and publication might suffer unless the user is looking for something more specific such as that particular author, article, blog or even website. So here is how small websites or blogs could make their mark by writing in depth articles. Don’t know how exactly you should write one? Here is how you can write them in order to be ranked in Google.

Make sure your articles contain words ranging from 2000 to 5000 and are meaningful and original. Quality over quantity is the way to go. If your content is boring and there are around 2000 to 5000 words, then nobody would even bother reading it even though it meets the required word limit. The content should be amazing and engaging enough to attract more readers towards your link.
