Something I've always wondered...
With blogs (and I'm sure this will also depend on the niche it is on), would it be generally better to make a blog with the excerpts on the main page prompting people to click on and read further? Or is it better to have the entire post on the page?
I ask because I've noticed that several people as of late seem to have their blogs where you see the entire article from top to bottom on the main page of the blog. Even though the blog post itself is accessible by clicking on the title of the blog post, I've noticed that bloggers are putting their entire posts on the main blog page so that there is no need to click on anything to read further.
What are your thoughts? Is it better to excerpt and write a paragraph that will prompt the reader to read on further? Or is it more beneficial to the reader to see everything up front, as well as for possible SEO purposes? I thought excerpts would've been more effective as I assumed it would provoke interest, but I'm starting to wonder if I'm wrong about that way of thinking.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts on the matter.
