I know this has been answered before, but I don't think it has been in about a year (and we all know how quickly the SEO landscape can change).  We're having a little debate on it right now and I'd be curious to get some feedback from the community.

What is the minimum number of words you would use on a page?  Does it matter to you if it's a second tier (website.com/x) or third tier (website.com/x/y) page?

It's always a tough sell on design between trying to keep it clean and trying to provide a lot of useful information.  I'd be curious what your thoughts are.   Thanks!

Just as a heads up - it is likely that if this was the issue, these keywords were being tracked as organic searches.  Check to see if your organic traffic suddenly drops.  If so, it's likely that your traffic isn't really dropping, it's just being measured separately (properly) now.

I've had that happen, and it's frustrating.
