Video Post: Full Feeds Vs Partial Feeds
Recap:
Some people choose to have all of their post viewable in your RSS feeds while others only have the first couple of paragraphs or so. Why would someone do this?
Advantages to Partial Feeds:
- More people click though to your site to read the post, and therefore you get more visitors and theoretically more ad revenue.
- It is easier for the reader to know if they are actually going to want to read the whole article in the first place.
Disadvantages to Partial Feeds:
- It frustrates readers. They’ve gone to the trouble of reading your blog and you force them to go that extra step.
- Some may be less likely to subscribe. If it’s to much hassle - I wouldn’t.
The Compromise:
Some blogs choose to offer two feeds - a full feed with ads and a partial feeds without them. So the reader can choose.
