Hey everyone, I just wanted to do a quick poll to see if you think this would be a good idea for your blog. Would you ask people to like your Facebook page or follow you on Twitter before reading your content, like this: http://fanfinderplugin.com/? Why do you think it’s a good or bad idea?
It would definitely lower your conversion rate, but if you had content that people were really interested in it is a great way to attract dedicated readers who will keep you on their minds.
Good point alabamaseo - if this was only targeted at people who had already read a few posts do you think that would be a good way to convert readers who have already shown an interest?
No, no and thrice no. The more barriers you put up, the more people are going to be turned away and will give up without ever getting to the content. Let people read your content and then decide if they want to follow/like you.
Indeed, more people will be driven away by any barrier/inconvenient you place between them and reading the article, so i`m against that plugin.
