Questions
How is reading time calculated?
At an average of 238 words per minute for silent reading, and 140 words per minute for speaking.
How long should a blog post be?
Long enough to fully answer the search. Many ranking guides are 1,000–2,000 words, but quality and intent matter more than length.
