The main thing is, “Did you write 1,000 words just for SEO purposes.” I’ll often write super-long blog posts – and that’s OK. What pushes the envelope is if the article is fluffy or spammy…and you’re trying to meet a mythical word count. :)

I got hit. However, all my articles which have 1000 words and more are ranking quite well.

I’ve used the tactic of reading my work out loud, and have caught some instances of artificial, forced-sounding keywords.

I always tell my clients never to just write for Google and that customers always come first. More power to the Panda!

There is no reason to fear any Panda-slap from the big G if you are focused on your readers. Thanks for your comment!

Google wants to provide the best possible results/experience to its users. So, focus on the people- actual target audience members instead of focusing so much on the search engines. If people like it, Google will too.
