Bloggers do You consider Removing Post Titles? - GoFuckYourself.com

AtlantisCash · 11-16-2009, 04:12 PM

a few weeks ago i was showing some of my blog type sites to my room mate and he found title and the link on the middle side of post might get confusing.

so, i thought removing the post title could be a good idea for Adult sites, with that way it will be easier to navigate for surfers

bad idea, very bad

While you're at it, remove your site title and meta tags.

Waddymelon · 11-16-2009, 04:47 PM

Fuckit, just remove the whole header. Wont hurt anything.

Reason? it can still be looking nice, if You edit the theme, i mean surfer directly will click the link which gos to content or html page You have built

at the same time, don't You think it is possible to handle the mess with a htaccess redirection trick?

i mean user can come from the post url instead of homepage via Search Engine results, so preventing from mess, You can set a htaccess redirect regarding to this, don't You think it it will solve the matter?

For seo it's not fantastic delete the title of the post

l0lf4c3 · 11-16-2009, 04:59 PM

titles are good

MediaGuy · 11-16-2009, 05:03 PM

What do you mean, "middle side" of the post?

Show your layout?

I mean, if the title isn't in nice big header style sure it might be... confusing(?)

:D

Right, but You can link those titles to an other side of theme right? what my aim was only not showing them on post or either just turn them in to headings/texts,

my point was saving surfers from confusing and letting them reach the content as easy as possible, if You peeps doing anything different, i m open to that also.

:D

For Example: there is a link to a gallery posted,

what i say is, can't we just show the link instead of title?

or rather then removing title, can we make disappear the post content from homepage then it will directly go to this gallery when user clicked?

sorry if what i said was confusing, i only think is how can we do our blogs easier to surfers

of course it does, but, at least modifying shouldn't hurt it?

I think the best way to get an answer is to post an example cause I dont think people here understand what you are trying to do or...

Why dont you just link to the gallery using the picture or add links above/below the text content plus add inline links in your actual text and keep all your post titles

Once you kill the SEO aspect of your site, you wont have any sufers so the appearance wont matter! Get it? get it?

I'd say go for it. There are million reasons why NOT to do it, everybody is giving you good advice and telling you NOT to do it, yet you want to do it... JUST DO IT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS!

No i didn't say i wanna do it, i m simply asking if anybody got any idea if we can make our blogs easier to the surfers, thats it, because my friend gave me that idea and i wondered if others also got the same

baddog · 11-16-2009, 07:17 PM

I must see your blog if it is too confusing for the surfer. I am sure it is . . . different.

No not differant, they're just blogs like any others...

harvey · 11-16-2009, 08:53 PM

OK, let's put it this way: you NEED the titles. You can hide'em if you want, you can use'em in a different way if you want. I do it a lot. BUT you still NEED them.

This being said, 2 things:

a) assuming that you've a more or less regular blog, is there a chance that the problem is not your blog, but your friend? I mean, I never saw anyone getting confused about the title of a post, even before blogs existed everybody can tell what a title is and what is it for.

b) your point shouldn't be to make your visitor's life easy, your goal shouldn't be to give the free meal. Your goal should be to SELL.

c) as someone else mentioned above, you may become the #1 coolest person member for your visitors making their life easier. However, you won't have any visitors to show how cool you are

Just my 2 cents
