These days I don't see anybody throwing the whole post to their home page, it is completely unimaginable. Throwing just excerpts can tempt users to make another click on the page to read the full article and greatly help to reduce bounce rate as well. Hi Karan,

Excerpts let you show a lot more on one single page! And if the visitor seems to like some topic, he can always click the link. Bloggers always think in terms of "how to improve the usability" and stuff... but the user really isn't that stupid... unless you totally mess up your design :P Totally agree!

Since many blogs get most traffic from search engines I think they don't care whether excerpts or full posts. But showing full post in homepage has a problem. Both the post page and homepage gets indexed and search engine sees it has duplicate. So from this point of view using post excerpt is better.

This is just one benefit among many others.

I hate seeing 'full posts' on the homepage. It just does not make sense to have long posts just take up the whole space on the homepage. It also looks ugly design wise, while Excerpt posts look friendly and nice. They are easier to manage by the reader, as he/she can overview the articles before deciding which one to read. Thanks for sharing this post. Nabeel PS: Post Re tweeted I absolutely agree with this article.
