Even if time have changed. I don't write for Robots, i write for my blog visitors and there is no way i will make contents to be short because Google changed algorithm. A good SEO and blogger follows guideline - Yes, but also have it in mind that Google's aim is to serve visitors with the best contents. So with that in mind, show me where short contents are ranking sir.

Breaking news is quite diff from writing tutorials, and that's one of the reasons for the updated guideline.

Sir with my over 8 years experience, i will tell you something you don't know. That this post is ranking doesn't mean Google's update wants only short contents.

And i was never talking about breaking news because every keyword in the niche goes with time frame, and are easy to rank a new blog in due to the disparity.

That you're ranking for very less competitive long-tail keyword doesn't mean anything. If am on the same niche market with you, i will simply write a very long resourceful post with the same keyword (about 2,000 words), then build good links around it. Then, you will see how google will throw your blog out of the first page you're celebrating.

What you will say is that, the latest rankbrain update brought about more sets of keywords (if you have noticed or been following the updates so far) that are easy to rank for now.

Taking this in mind, i will suggest you try to find more information to solidify your ranking or you will still loose where you are in a short while. Trust me sir.

And with my 10 years experience, I can tell you that bloggers in a bid to write up to 1,500 words article end up stuffing the content with irrelevant and regurgitated points, which is bad for user experience.

Don't generalize it sir. It's not all bloggers that does that ok.

I think i am beginning to loose the aim of your argument anyways. What are you even trying to say?

To be successful with blogging you will need a long detailed post that explains everything about the topic. Neil Patel makes reference to that and also explains it here :
