Make Your Blog Easy to Read:

Which blog do you prefer? One that makes easy things hard to understand? Or one that makes difficult things easy to understand?

In “Is your blog easy to read?” Muhammad Saleem recommends the second. He also guides bloggers to an online readability tool to test the reading level of your blog.

cash advanceGuess what readibility level I rated? Yep. I write like I’m in grade school. :)

I used the tool to test Volokh.com a blog written by a bunch of law professors: they write at the junior high level.

I bet you’re wondering about Muhammad Saleem’s blog’s readibility level? Highschool.

    I got postgrad for Musings,elementary for Gizmos and high school for NY. I guess I’m an enigma when it comes to writing. LOL

    Why would Google.com be rated Genius unless this is precoded in the app. They hardly have any text on site. But Genius??? (smells like a ki$$ a$$ to me)

    Dang it, I really have to think about this when I am blogging. I was thinking it was pretty easy, but I got post-grad on the site. Yikes!

    The style of writing and the clarity of expression within a given “reading level” have as much a part to play in the readers that you attract as the complexity or lack thereof.

    For example if my blog said things like “colourless ideas sleep furiously” on any regular basis it is easy enough to read but comprehension would be another issue.

    All my efforts came out as Elementary even where I used complex formula…

  6. I in Elementary School, just where I wanted to be. I guess the thing only checks the front page. Mine really should be all over the map, at least up to high school.

    BlogProfitz injects your blogs with ten, hundreds or even thousands of affiliate products (complete with images, descriptions and affiliate links), all targeted to your blogs’ subject matter and niche. Products are organized in a ‘store’ format so your readers can then browse, read about and purchase the products they want, directly through your site.

    Your readers gain instant access to a wide range of affiliate products, targeted specifically to their needs – they can read, browse and buy, all from your blog.
