Too often it happens to read posts which are too long and because of that, i lose my interest for them, and i pass to the next post/subject/category. You really have to know how to keep your readers next to you, and how to make some new ones. These advices are very good!

thanx
I’ve substantially reduced the length of my posts, but always have this nagging feeling that I could have used a few more descriptors to make it pop!

Sometimes we write posts that are too long for readers to read. We try to put all things in our mind into one piece of writing. I will write posts that are not too long or too short. This article is very important for me as I usually write a post that my friends say too complicated. Next time I will make my post as simple as possible.

Absolutely right – I sometimes do posts that are way too long. I think some of my personal tendency towards that stems from the fact that, in my earlier days, I was a journalist and got paid by the word. :-)

Having said that, though – I do believe that there’s scope for providing your readers with ‘a good read’; when they visit.

This is a good reminder. I’m a journalist so I’m used to writing articles about 500 words long. Often that’s too long for a blog.

When you have people do e-mail interviews, it’s good to tell them up to 500 words. One author who I gave that word limit to send me 2,000 words! I divided it into four posts.

I always prefer to write short post better than long post. Because people do not make interest to read long post. So I try to complete my article with short post.

Fantastic post, Darren. You truely have some good points.

Great advice on contemplating about long blog posts. Sometimes splitting them up into separate post are the best things to do for the sake of your reader. You might keep their interest easier if it was in shorter sections.

I must learn how to split my posts. Sometimes I get carried away and I dish out very long posts.

As someone not fond of long blog posts I try to compile my subject into a short but to the point post most of the times. I encounter some blog posts like 3-4 pages long, which I never read to the end. Only the ones with great quality will keep readers on it, other than that it is better to split posts into two or more parts.

Hi , Darren
Another great post in the line of Problogger
I have discovered your blog and is a must-read-daily todo for me..hihi
I think the reflection about cut in one or more parts a blog post is an advice to have in mind EVERY time we post
I have noticed , that me own , abandon some posts during reading because of long of them…
Now , i write more short posts than before , but is better your solution…it creates expecattion inthe reader , and this is good for the blog.
regards
