I can understand the “best work” part and that’s why it’s not a problem to write the 350 characters. I’m talking about very short post that may give information

Btw, I don’t zoom everything I read. I often see visits in my own post but no zoomed. One thing people forget is the plugin in the post which I would help getting zoomed more.
Like many, I should zoom more

I think the 350chars is a great idea – yes its a pain but it encourages you only to submit your best work- which works for real readers as well as google! BTW I am surprised that you have got so much traffic but have obviously zoomed little except your own submissions

It’s not word but 350 characters or about 50 words.

Court in a reply on his blog:
“Now, in order for us to get your content ranked in Google, the 350 characters comes in. 350 characters is actually only about 50 words.”

Would someone please explain what the 350 word minimum does for SEO purposes?

Thanks,
Fred

I know that and understand it. What I did proposed was an optional check box to bypass it.

For example, I just did a short post about Friendswin Video Resume. The information is short but useful and it would be like rewriting a second post just to get the 350 characters. But in that case, I don’t even care for SE result. I just wanted to informed others but I won’t submit it. You could if you want

But I won’t mind submitting much longer post and write 350 characters.

But like many, the 350 characters counter should be at least be there to help us.

The 350 character min. is one of the important differences between Blogging Zoom and other social bookmarks or social networks.
The traffic you get from a zoom may eventually be just a small part of the traffic you may get in the future as it increases your SE ratings. Write that paragraph with the idea of sending anyone that reads it to your page to read the rest of the information you have and you will see more traffic now and later.
