QUESTION: How long should an article be versus a report?
Nice question. There is no definite answer.
Conventionally, an short article runs for 350 to 500 words, while a longer article may be 750 to 1,000 words long.
Very rarely, an article may be 1,500 words (especially on the Web where brevity is often necessary to match the short attention span of Web surfers).
A report is often longer than 3,000 words (or around 10 pages when printed), though there are no norms or guidelines about this. Longer reports can be around 25 to 30 pages, and there are a few that go up to 50 or 60 pages (though at that point they are better called ebooks or booklets).

Giving a general idea as to what is what, but …

my favorite marketer Paul Myers (and I know it’s one of your favorites too) has written an outstanding article about the topic (a long one!) and he gave me his exceptional permission to republish it.
