Ask HN: How can I increase discoverability on my blog without it looking spammy?
Currently each article on my blog is a full-page 'reader view' style document with only a basic site-wide header and footer.
There is nothing to draw visitors' attention to other articles on my site, which I imagine results in a high bounce rate for people who come from Google, etc.
I've tried having 'Next Post' and 'Previous Post' buttons at the bottom of each article but it looked far too spammy and forced in my opinion.
What other solutions could I be missing?
- detaro 8y agoI personally actually really like the old-fashioned sidebar with a box or multiple with "recent articles" and/or "popular articles", "articles from the same category", ... as a reader Prev/next or "3 similar posts" at the bottom IMHO is also totally fine. It's your content, on your site, not some random external clickbait.
