Ive noticed a lot of authority sites use excerpts on the home/category main pages.

Has anyone done any kind of split testing to measure if using them helps or not?

    It has been working for me. A page with a brief summary on the top and then list of items tends to rank better than similar page with no summary.

    It's an effective method of convincing Google you're not using duplciate content, that's for sure...

    A page with single posts (i.e. with excerpts) will be easier for Google to index and should therefore be more effective for SEO - it's also easier for readers!

    Using excerpts is a great way to customize the contents that you want to show up in search results.
