Hi Dennis, you are welcome, I am glad I found that plugin making it so much easier to add analytics without having to worry about coding, so I passed it on to my readers

As for the Entrecard, I donÂ´t think it will make any difference, putting your widget lower. If somebody comes to your blog because of entrecard, most of the time they just want the click and wonÂ´t read through your post just like that. The title might just catch their attention enough to read it, which can also happen when having it higher up.

Like you say, people canÂ´t be forced to read nor be forced to like your blog, instead you have to make sure yourself to catch their attention in a few seconds time span

The first thing I’d like to do is thank you. I’ve read many a post on Google Analytics, but I don’t recall anyone pointing to that plugin; which I promptly grabbed.

As for Entrecard bounce rate, I haven’t heard many solutions other then maybe placing the card between the middle and end of the blog to force people to scroll and hopefully read along the way.

Overall though, I think it comes down to atractive (non-misleading) titles and good quality content. Along with as others have stated, using summaries and having a good “looking” blog.

People are busy. They WILL scroll the front page, but if they don’t like, they will not go to categories for more.

Hi Mirjam, I must say I agree with Acadia. If they really want to read, they will click the “read more” or whatever one has. There is also another advantage to this approach and that is speed. A site with “read more” links on posts usually loads faster and saves on bandwidth. Just my 2 cents worth.
