Do you think you could have the NEXT and PREVIOIUS in an easier to reach position?

what do you think now? I've ditched one of my 'tabs' which makes the tags and cats more visible as well.

At the moment I have to click â€œREAD MOREâ€ first and then go to the next post. Iâ€™ve not been online much recently and thereâ€™s a backlog of posts I need to read.

Thanks for the feedback as to be honest I put the NEXT and PREVIOUS links in a sub-optimal position as I assumed hardly anybody used them. I actually think you're in the minority as 60-70% of my traffic comes from search engines i.e. users who want to read a particular post, so the changes of the NEXT/PREVIOUS articles being related are quite small, which is I try to emphasis the RELATED POSTS. I will see if I can improve their positioning though.

My feed is a full feed. The problem I had was that since V2.1 WordPress has been cutting the posts off at the tag, which I use on just about every post. I managed to fix this last night so my feed has gone back to being a true full feed.

Anyway, just a suggestion as the feed isn't a a full feed it'd save me (and I'm sure other readers) time.

Being one of those people which came here through a search engine I must say that even RSS doesn't really bring me back, mainly I won't even be adding it unless it's something to really say wow about and even then I hardly check up on it.

Just coming by other blogs every time has something to it, hopping from one to another, seeing opinions from a wide variety of people. In the end that can only be done if you skip others, so you can't really keep up with blogs on a daily basis.

But for some people RSS would actually be nice, it'll be a warning signal for when new content is available to read. RSS usually is used to only pass on a small intro to the actual post so you wouldn't be driving visitors away, they'ld still be needing to go to your site in order to view the full article if they're interested.

Another way to get viewers back to your site is commenting back on people which commented to your blog, although about probably just 10% of all comments you give back will actually return into them checking back on your site, yet again it is a couple of visitors returning. And if the numbers are just high enough, that could accumulate quite well as well.

I've decided that getting someone to subscribe will mean that for the majority of readers I have a better chance that they come back, or at least stay in touch with what's going on at the site.

70% of my visitors are coming from search engines, read one post and go - I need to find ways to make them come back again otherwise I will never see them again. That's thousands per day. For other sites with more visitors who already visit every day, then yes, RSS is probably a bad option.

I agree though that a RSS reader is better than a email subscriber so I've moved the email option below the RSS options.

Why do you want to drive away readers from viewing the site?! eMail subscriptions are well easily cancelled and SPAM-Foldered. You lose out on the Ad-Revenue also. Feedvertising are usually ignored by educated readers. Just MHO.
