Read More Tag On Blogs Or Do Without For Blogs And Seo
I recently started adding the read more tags to my blog posts to shorten them up but I did notice a problem with this.
When I checked to see if a few of my newer blog posts were indexed by the search engines I noticed that Google indexed them wrong which screwed up those particular posts rankings.
They put about 3 of them together for 1 listing instead of the title of the post, and the description. They put the description of my 3 most recent posts in 1 listing which really screwed my rankings up.
Instead of being on page 1 for that particular keyword phrase I am on page 3 not good. So needless to say I went back to full blog post concept and I am waiting for them to get reindexed and hopefully that will fix the problem and I will get first page rankings.
Anyone else have any input on this? What format do you use and why? Has this happened to you?
