Why Long-Form Blog Posts Win?
Based on billions of searches, Google concluded that users’ search intent is more likely satisfied with long-form content (1600+ words).
And now Google is more likely to rank higher the content that is longer.
Of course, the quality and the value must be there. But all things being equal long-form content wins.
Industry Outsider’s Content Hurts Your Brand
I recently read an article about the top 6 languages to learn this year.
This article failed to mention JavaScript, which runs in every browser and every app that you use every day.
After reading this blog post, I had to conclude:
❌ it wasn’t written by a developer
(not even a junior)
❌ it wasn’t reviewed by any developer in the company
❌ if the content they want me to see is this unprofessional, then how bad is the rest?
Developers looking for a job there would probably see this as a red flag.
