Welcome. I think what you’re saying is true in taking a site from partial to full, definitely. I’ve seen evidence to support that and it’s an excellent point.

But in the studies I’ve been doing comparing sites I don’t own whose stats I’ve been given access to, that start out one way or another, depending on what you’re measuring against, the evidence I’ve seen seen since ’05 shifts the other way, though the trend appears to be in the process of reversing.

Then there’s the fact that it’s never been the case with any of the blogs I’ve ever started, but that’s a bit outside the norm because my blogs aren’t typically set up in the standard fashion.

Great to bring that up, though, because with the ” quick tips” format, I don’t tend to cover all the angles.

Providing full feed, increases engagement (as they read full blog post) but also click throughs to blog (as more people are reading your posts). Full feed means more views overall to feed and to your blog. Basic leverage methodology.
