Post Excerpts allows you to view only a part of the Post on the Home page instead of the Full Post.Displaying Excerpts has many advantages in SEO, monetisation and Traffic.Post Excerpt will give an overview to an user about what the post is all about.

The 5 Reasons for why you should use an Post Excerpt.

1 ) SEO : Google considers any similar text as duplicate content.So, if you display any post as full content on the home page as well as in the archive then, this will add to the duplicate content. this will affect the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs) of your site.

2 ) Speed : When you display an excerpt, only some part of the post is loaded and not the full post saving the load time of your site.

3 ) User choice : Showing an excerpt gives user a choice about which posts they like and which post to read. If the Posts are too long then the visitor will loose interest in reading other posts.

4 ) Bookmarking : If the visitor liked the post and if he wants to submit it to the bookmarking sites like Digg,Stumple Upon etc. The Home page link of the blog will be sent rather than the post link. While, if there is an excerpt, user will click on the “Read more” link to view the full post and he can easily submit it from there with the correct post title and post link.

5 ) Page Impressions : This does not count as a real reason but if you have opted for any ad campaign then this can count as an advantage for you.
