How many blog posts per page are enough?
-
Any thoughts on how many blog posts per page are enough for SEO? Assume about 800-900 words per post.
-
For who you write? for example a medical article or a diet articule with just 200 words won´t rank good in Google, some times you need to be more specific when you write content all depends of who are you readers. Regards,

thanks very much for the inputs - this will help me in the future

To be honest you can have a post with great images and only 200 words of content and it will do better then a long post of 1000 words.
Really just aim to make blog posts with over 200 words is my advice, take note of sites like Mashable they have 200 words and video content and it goes viral like crazy.

the keyword is moderately competitive in our area
-
I do think that everything above 600 words can be good. It really depends how competitive the keyword you are competing for is? It it is a really competitive one you better have more words and a few different headings.
Usually article directories are not letting you submit an article that is less than 400-450 words without the summary, heading and resource box ( or article bio) being counted. The average length of a press release is about 800 words. Wikipedia articles are usually longer than that but they are much more informative.
-
Each page on your site will ideally focus on keyword. You only get one page title and one main header tag per page. The content contained on the page should focus the main keyword. With this best practice in mind, normally one blog post would be contained per page.
You can offer a category type of page, but the focus of that page is the category. A category page would often contain snippets from several blog articles.

Internal blog with history and some SEO value versus new external blogs with specialized content?
We operate a blog inside a folder on our site and considering the launch of 4 highly focused blogs with specialized content which are now categories on the internal blog. Wondering if there is more value in using the external new blogs or just keep growing the internal blog content. Does fact that the internal blog is buried amongst millions of pages have any impact if we want the content indexed and value given to the links from the blog content to our main site pages.

Exchanging Guest Blog Opportunities - SEO Implications?
Haven't found a clear, recent answer on this. What are the SEO implications of exchanging guest blogging opportunities (in other words, we write an article for a partner blog with a backlink, and they write an article on on our blog with a backlink)? The partner site has a 57 domain authority and we have a 24 domain authority.

I allow authority sites to republish my blog articles, which then outrank me
Hey everyone. This is my first question here, I apologize if it has been covered before. I have a health and nutrition blog [authority nutrition] that has been up since December 1st, 2012. I've managed to write quite a few viral articles which have given me a bunch of natural links and a domain authority of 49, which I think is pretty great for such a new site. Haven't done any link building and everything is 100% white hat. Getting good rankings and good traffic already, so I can't complain. My only (1st world) problem is that sometimes major authority sites (DA of 70-95) republish my content. I always say yes if they ask me first, but some of them just republish without even asking. My articles are always indexed on my blog before they get republished, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. These sites always clearly link to the original URL, but they often tend to outrank me for the keywords I was targeting in the articles. They tend to rank in the top 5, but my original article is nowhere to be found. I plan on continuing to allow these sites to republish as I get powerful links and good traffic from them, but it's a bit frustrating that I don't seem to get the credit as the original source. I've already set up Google Authorship, but it doesn't seem to help. Is there anything I can do to make sure Google recognizes my article as the original and chooses to rank my site instead of the authority site that simply republished my article?
