The majority of people do not read extensive copy online. So, it is just a waste of time.
Also those long endless lenses not only look cluttered, they are also difficult and tiresome to read.
I just skim over them, and try to find something to read.
ThomasJ4 says:
As long as a short lens is packed with info in short sentences, then I do prefer quick and to the point. More bang for your buck so to speak
Intelliburg says:
That depends on what your goal is. Short lens won't have much detail by nature.
ShandiGP says:
Sometimes a long lens, such as a recipe with lots of step-by-step photos, is best. Usually, though, simple is better, especially since the average reader is not willing to read a long article.
Quickcutters says:
I;m kinda in the middle on this. I like the long lenses that has so much info. that i can really learn a lot about that subject. On the other hand as long as the short lenses have very good right to the point info. it is easier for me to not get bored reading them.

Couldn't agree more my friend. short and to the point FTW!!
No way, Monkeybrain!
wrapitup4me says:
You didn't give room for a third option - depends! I think it depends on the topic. I like short lenses when that is all that is needed. And I have seen lenses that run on and on and on. So, in short, the best answer is: it depends! I do think you raising this issue for debate is fun.
JS0425 says:
I like making longer lenses, because generally they rank much better on Google, and have tons of natural keywords that I have created, However, I am starting a new niche, and may end up creating shorter lenses for this.
KathyT says:
While I think lots of quality content is important (otherwise some lenses just look like an advertisement to me), I DO agree that if by "short" you mean "concise and to the point" ... Well, then you're right on the money!
I think the really important thing is readability. Lots of "white space" and "bullet points" and pictures make a lens much better.
Hmm. I guess I should follow my own advice! :) Kath
bboy131 says:
More descriptive lenses are more appealing because they provide useful and interesting information. Just do not over-do it and create a 10 page story. Yawn!
TrebAllen says:
I'm of the opinion that long might actually be the better ... BUT broken down into short bite size morsels for easier digestion.
