One Way To Keep Readers From Leaving Your Blog/Site Too Quickly
Some of you may have noticed that in the past few weeks, some of my BlogSpinner blog entries have links throughout the text of the entry and some have them at the end of the entry, just before the copyright notice. This has been mostly intentional.
The idea here is to defer the links to the end of a post so that readers don't just randomly click on whatever links they see and don't come back. (But then, everybody has their own websurfing preferences.) The idea comes from the academic papers I used to write, where the bibliography section would list references.
I haven't thought about how to track the effectiveness of deferred links. But I'm hypothesizing that more people will read through my posts, then click on links. If this is true, then at least people will read what I've written. And isn't that what most writers crave anyway? (Besides fame and money :)
