If you have a website or foum that features articles I am wondering what length you think is a good length? I always think articles of about 400-500 words are pretty good.

Even i think that it fine. Just feel it from my person experience cos i sometimes do write some articles for some bucks. Mostly people demand for 400 to 500 words article. But some also do demand for some 300 words articles too.

But grosly i think 400 to 500 words if fine enough.

It all depends on what you are writing about, if its a product review 400-500 is ok, if its just about what happend in your day (nothing funny involved) then its best to keep it 200-300

Should be somewhere that. However, I would prefer 300-400 for certain topics like news and literature whereby people might get bored after a while. However, other topics like celebrity gossip it's possible to go longer. It depends actually.

300-400 its enough for blog post even sometimes i post more than that. If i make more than 1000 word, its enough for some people to hired me and pay for 20-30 dollar per arctile.
