A blog post of 2000 words can't generate any traffic in 2026. True or False?

[Min George]

I remember back in the days, when blog posts had to be very detailed. Blog posts were as lengthy as 2000 words to generate traffic. In 2026, humans and Al are looking for short direct answers.

Do you think that blog posts of 2000 words are useless now in generating traffic?

I find long articles still powerful when analyze things in depth. But these days people like quick answers. I mix short and long descriptions capture all types of readers.

Number of words do not guarantee traffic, what actually matters is originality of the content, quality of content, and SEO

I'm looking for new and better things appear on the top of search engines today. Keyword density alone doesn't carry me but creativity and SEO are the secret to grabbing traffic.

If that 2000 words blog post doesn't have personal case studies or something unique about it, there is no way it would rank in search results.

Nowadays, noone has the time to read lengthy articles. So, naturally, you cannot expect any visitors too.
