Google bring described adding "After the jump" breaks to posts, together with the various factors involved inwards using them.
I'd never bothered with them, because on close all of my blogs, I only demonstrate ane Post per Screen.
However I of belatedly realised that it is worthwhile putting them inwards anyway: if only ane Post is showing, they won't bring whatever affect. But at that topographic point are or too then screens where they are helpful.
Not all Screens are Like the Main Screen
(NB Until Google introduced Pages, I would bring said Posts together with Pages: now, I province Posts together with Screens: a Post is ane especial that you lot lot publish, a Screen is a collection of them. Most of the Google Help documentation nonetheless verbalize virtually Pages inwards this way - only it's confusing, because of the static-pages feature getting the same name.)
The main screen is that ane that is opened when a reader goes to your weblog for the foremost time, or when they alternative out an article (eg from the archive gadget) together with choke to it.
However at that topographic point are various other types of enshroud too. For example:
- The Labels gadget displays all (or a grouping of) the labels that you lot lot bring given to posts.
When a reader clicks on a label inwards this gadget, the Screen displays a listing of Posts that bring this label.
- The Archive gadget displays the dates that posts bring been made on.
When a reader clicks on a time-period (eg month, week) inwards this gadget, the Screen displays a listing of Posts that were posted inwards this time.
In these Screens, to a greater extent than than ane Post is displayed (no matter what setting you lot lot bring for Posts per Page). And if your Posts bring jump-breaks nigh the top, together with thence this listing looks a lot to a greater extent than like a list, thence is a lot easier for your readers to use. (You strength out run across an resultant of this by times clicking here - this testament demonstrate you lot lot a listing of all the posts inwards this weblog virtually Facebook, for example)
Using a Post Template
I forthwith bring a template for new posts, because this makes it easier to structure articles inwards the same way, which makes them amend for readers.
The Jump-break, which shows inwards Compose mode, makes a useful distinction betwixt the article summary at the hap together with everything else later on the break.
AdSense
If you lot lot are an AdSense publisher, together with thence Google bring said that at that topographic point are or too then AdSense ads which are cost-per-view, non cost-per-click, only that advertisers are only interested inwards having them showing when a reader foremost looks at the page. Google bring a way of calculating whether a specific advertisement is "above the break" or not. We don't know what the govern for this is, only my justice is that this may include shout out for whether the advertisement is inwards a higher position or below a jump-break.
