Best Blog Post Format for SEO?

[NiallTom]

Wondering what the best way is to display blog posts, and organize a blog in general, for maximum SEO benefit.

Displaying the entire blog post for the reader to scroll down right on the main page of the blog?  With previous posts displayed farther down on the same page.

Displaying a snippet/paragraph of the post with a link to continue reading - this way each blog post has it's own dedicated page?  And the main blog page can display more topics.

Any additional ideas or suggestions to think about would be great.  Thank You!

yeah, you want to avoid duplicate content issues where google has to choose which content to display so go for the snippet option.

I like Wordpress. If you are using this platform I use the first 2 paragraphs for the main post feed and use the "Excerpt" option to control the snippets on category pages.
