@crafterminds: Makes sense for pageviews, but for SEO?? #crafterminds


9/32

about 17 minutes ago@KristinsVeranda Perhaps even more books vs newspapers

#crafterminds

about 18 minutes ago@creativegoddess Sorry, my blog name doesn't match my twitter

name... isn't that awful?!? #crafterminds checking my email

about 18 minutes ago@creativegoddess@crafterminds exactly, that's my point

#crafterminds

about 18 minutes ago RT @countrychiccott: A blog where I can get lost in just lookingat the pics...I am going to hit that follow button. #crafterminds

about 19 minutes ago ME TOO!! RT @creativ_edvent I VERY rarely click through on

the truncated ones. It annoys me to have to click for more. #Crafterminds

about 19 minutes ago A blog where I can get lost in just looking at the pics...I am goingto hit that follow button. #crafterminds

about 19 minutes ago I like the clean look of it RT @crafterminds: I prefer truncated

posts bc then I can speed thru the ones Im not interested in. #crafterminds

about 19 minutes ago@countrychiccott I write what I like to read, anything else is not

about 19 minutes ago Totally a preference thing I guess...magazine readers vs.

newspaper readers... #crafterminds

about 19 minutes ago RT @countrychiccott: hmmm maybe you cant please everyonewith your blog format! :) Make it for YOU! :) #crafterminds

about 19 minutes ago@craftmoore@craftymodern Makes sense for pageviews, but forSEO?? #crafterminds

about 19 minutes ago@crafterminds Sometimes a photo will get me to stop and paymore attention to the blog post than just a couple of sentances. #crafterminds

about 19 minutes ago@DomesticAnarchy Maybe that's why I prefer truncation. Blogs


10/32

Make it for YOU! :) #crafterminds

about 20 minutes ago@blessedlife2@crafterminds I have FB like box w/o pictures...how do I change it? #crafterminds

about 20 minutes ago Would make sense. Forces them to click = extra pageviews RT

@craftymodern: read that excerpts can improve SEO? #crafterminds

about 20 minutes ago@craftymodern don't know if post excerpts help SEO, but you

have to be compelling in your opening content to get ppl to click#crafterminds

about 20 minutes ago Me too! @Serendipityelem dislike blog formats where they just

show snippets of posts and you have to click on them to read. #crafterminds

about 20 minutes ago@crafterminds I don't feel like I get enough of the post when it is

truncated. I speed scroll just looking at pics then read #crafterminds

about 21 minutes ago I really HATE scrolling for miles to get past a post I don't care

about that has 10million photos. #crafterminds

about 21 minutes ago@crafterminds to me the truncated feels less like a conversation

and more like a magazine #crafterminds

about 21 minutes ago@KristinsVeranda that have made me leave the blog and not come

back again in some cases. #crafterminds

about 21 minutes ago I just replied to the comment left on my blog by @WhimsyWords.

Let me know if you get my reply via email. :) #crafterminds


11/32

about 21 minutes ago I've read quite a bit that suggests excerpts (opposed to full posts)

can improve SEO? true? #crafterminds

about 21 minutes ago I prefer truncated posts (click for more) bc then I can speed thru

the ones I'm not interested in. #crafterminds

about 21 minutes ago@DomesticAnarchy I just like to scroll while blog readying...not

click :-) #crafterminds

about 22 minutes ago@craftmoore I try :) #crafterminds#crafterminds

fomat but was not sure #crafterminds

about 22 minutes ago@Serendipityelem AGREED! I dislike blog formats where they

just show snippets of posts and you have to click on them to read. #crafterminds

about 23 minutes ago RT @graphicsfairy: If you want ur popular posts to take up less

room, u can make a label for them and then add a button to ur sidebar, like mine. #crafterminds

about 23 minutes ago RT @crafterminds: If you want to increase FB followers, use the

FB like box on your site (the one with the faces!) #crafterminds

about 23 minutes ago@parresia I think we all have experience that. We have to

multitask#crafterminds

about 24 minutes ago If you want ur popular posts to take up less room, u can make a

label for them and then add a button to ur sidebar, like mine. #crafterminds

about 24 minutes ago I like GFC because that is what I personnally use to follow blogs.

#crafterminds


12/32

about 24 minutes ago I hate when I get to a new blog and after a few post u just get to

see the title of the old ones. #crafterminds

views when I added popular posts widget. I use @nrelate#crafterminds

about 24 minutes ago@ProjctAnthology I like GFC b/c I use Google dashboard as my

reader #crafterminds

about 25 minutes ago Interesting...on one of these chats people said they were tired ofGoogle Friend connect? What do you all like/dislike abt it? #crafterminds

about 25 minutes ago I keep popping into #crafterminds in between kids' homework and

dinner prep... I'm missing half of it! :(

about 25 minutes ago@KristinsVeranda I had to switch fonts for feedburner after someissues. It may be your font or font size. #crafterminds

about 25 minutes ago@crafterminds@condoblues@nrelate That's o useful. I love that

when visiting a new blog #crafterminds

about 25 minutes ago If you want to increase FB followers, use the FB like box on your

site (the one with the faces!) #crafterminds

about 26 minutes ago Go to "design" click on "gadgets" you'll see it near the top RT

@parresia: plug in for popular posts on blogger? #crafterminds

always look for it too. #crafterminds

post but not the whole post? #crafterminds

encourage others to share it (not through FB or twitter)? #crafterminds

about 32 minutes ago I self-hosted just so I can sell from my site for free...but am not

terribly happy with my current plugin. #crafterminds

about 32 minutes ago and you guys might have mentioned it but there is the WordPress

Google +1 Plugin and the Wordpress Facebook Like Plugin #crafterminds

about 33 minutes ago RT @craftymodern: since Im an Etsyian I use the CustomizableEtsy Widget (can display your favorites or from shop) #crafterminds

times... you still get the same # of impressions overall! #crafterminds

post to FB. Its much more effective! #crafterminds
