Is anybody reading this? Tweak your WordPress home page to get better traffic data. [Part 2 of 2]
This is part two of a two-part series on improving WordPress blog traffic statistics. In Part 1 I explained how to set the RSS feed settings to drive users from an RSS reader to your site. In Part 2, I explain how to use the “more” tag in WordPress to drive users from your home page to the specific post.
Many WordPress blogs are set up to show a few to dozens of full posts on the blog’s home page. This seemingly makes it easier for readers to read the last several posts without adding another “click” to dig deeper into the site.
But if a user scans through the posts, reading some and ignoring others, there is no way to indicate which posts he found useful. By tweaking your WordPress home page, you can dramatically improve your website traffic statistics.
