• Facebook Post:  40-45 characters 
• Page Headline: 3-6 words
• Paragraph Width:  40-55 characters
• Blog Post:  this varies by topic, but a good average is 1,500-1,600 words
• Email Subject:  25-40 characters
• Title Tag Length:  55 characters (this although is for visible text for users and not for SEO)
