Thanks Ted!

There is more work to be done here, I am certain different content is weighted differently, depending on whether it is academic or commercial for example.

Just finally saw your cross-posting on our site – that’s a great numbers-based test you did here. I’m digging in on the linking front right now but will definitely look into the Reading Ease measurement when I get some time in the next few months, that looks promising – will let you know when I do.

Thanks!

Hi Mike,

I didn’t want to draw attention from the test results and so on, so I left these out.
They are both long tail keywords in the package holiday market though. I will probably add to this report in future with some studies in different areas/industries as I am sure there would be a different target figure for different niches.

Hi, nice post. What keywords did you use for this test?

Cheers
