Sometimes we write very long articles on our blog. But the problem is, visitors often feel bored reading such long posts and get tired of scrolling. To solve this problem and increase your blog earnings, the Probha template offers a Split Post (post pagination) feature.
With this plugin, you can divide a long post into multiple pages (Page 1, Page 2, Page 3, etc.).
Why should you use Split Post?
- Increase Page Views: If you divide one post into 3 parts, a visitor will load 3 pages to read it. This can increase your page views 3x.
- Increase Earnings: More page views mean more ad impressions, which can increase your income.
- Faster Loading: Instead of loading the full post at once, it loads in parts, making pages faster.
- Better Reading Experience: Smaller sections are easier and more comfortable to read.
Where to find the plugin?
To set up the Split Post feature, follow these steps:
- Go to your Blogger Dashboard and open your blog.
- From the left sidebar, click on Layout.
- Find the Plugins section in your layout.
- Select the "Split Post" plugin from the list.
- Click Edit if you want to change settings.
- Click Save to apply the changes.
After this, the Split Post feature will be active on your blog.
Configuration Guide
This plugin works using JSON format. When you edit the gadget, you will see this code:
{
"status": true,
"divider": "<!--next-->"
}
Status
"status": true— Keeps the feature enabled."status": false— Disables the feature.
Divider Code
This is a special marker that tells where the post will be split:
"divider": "<!--next-->"— This is the default code. It is recommended not to change it.
How to use it in your post?
To make this work, you need to follow a few simple steps while writing your post:
- First, write your full post normally.
- Then switch to HTML View from the editor.
- Place the following code exactly where you want to split the page:
<!--next-->
- You can use this code multiple times to create multiple pages (Page 1, 2, 3...).
- Finally, publish or update your post.
Note: You must place this code in HTML View. If you use it in Compose View, it will not work and will appear as normal text.
Example
For example, if you are writing a story and want to split it into two parts:
<p>First part of the story goes here...</p>
<!--next-->
<p>Second part or ending goes here...</p>
When you open the post, it will automatically create page navigation (Page 1, Page 2) where you added the divider.
Conclusion
If you use the Split Post feature correctly, you can improve user engagement and control your bounce rate. With this simple system in the Probha template, you can easily optimize your long posts.
