The Simplest Way Of Increasing Your Blog Page Views

We had a look at the WordPress blog plugins that improve your blog user experience and make your content sticky. This is another way to improve your blog page views and your blog visitor page views per visit.

Simply, just use the function when writing your blog posts. function lets you break your post and only include a short preview on your main blog page. To read the full blog post, the visitor must click on the “Read more” link. So instead of letting your blog visitors read all your blog posts in full from the main page, use to cut down the posts so the visitor has to click on them to read the full article.

There are WordPress plugins which will make this process more automated.

Evermore plugin – Evermore is a WordPress plugin that automatically displays short previews of your blog posts on your blog main page. Each blog post preview includes a link to the full post. You can customize the length and appearance of the blog post previews.

Less plugin – Less is a WordPress plugin that changes the (Read more) link so when it is clicked it displays the entire post, and not just the part after the “Read more”.

If you want to change the look of the “Read More” link do this. Go into “Design” and choose “Theme Editor”. Click on the main index template (index.php). Find this line:

the_content(‘Read the rest of this entry »’);

Replace the line with this:

the_content(‘Read more about “’ . get_the_title() . ‘”’);

Now replace the “read more about” to for example “Continue reading”. The finished line would be:

the_content(‘Continue Reading “’ . get_the_title() . ‘”’);

And your blog visitors will see this as:

Continue reading “Your Blog Post Title”.
