================== ARTICLE START ==================
Studies show that readers are often much more interested in
blogs that offer pictures. Blogs that use pictures are shown to
be accessed more often than plain text blogs. If you are looking
for an interesting way to boost traffic to your site, you might
want to think about including pictures. Adding pictures to your
blog is typically not a hard task. Most blogging programs will
have areas in which you can quickly and easily add pictures.
Keep in mind that if you are involved in a program such as
Google Adsense, pictures won�t always correspond as well for
your ads as text will however. Overall pictures provide readers
with a better understanding of what you are trying to convey
over your blog. If you are wondering why pictures boost
traffic, consider these explanations.

Scanability

One surefire way to boost traffic on your blog is to create a
blog with a high level of scanability. When your blog can be
easily scanned for content, viewers are more likely to want to
visit your blog again. Experts say that it takes almost 25%
more energy for the eyes and brain to read words on a computer
in contrast with reading them on paper. Therefore, although
readers may not know it, they are likely to read much less on
their computer screen. This is because it takes longer to read
the words and uses up more energy.

Sixty percent of the people who read your blog will not read it
word for word. They will simply scan through it looking for your
main points. They almost always read the headlines and also look
at the pictures. Pictures always help make your blog more easily
scanned because they offer a break for the eyes and the brain.
The eyes and brain will look at the picture in a different
manner than they look at words on a blog. Offering the eyes and
brain a �break� will allow your blog to be scanned easily. In
turn, when it can be scanned easily, the readers will keep
coming!

Keeping the Interest

One thing that bloggers tend to do is go on and on about one
thing endlessly. It is important to limit each post to a small
amount of words because if you don�t, your reader will get
bored. To avoid losing a reader�s interest you can shorten
posts and bring your main point to the forefront. You can also
add pictures to your blog. Adding pictures is the perfect way
to keep the interest of your readers. If you are talking about
a lovely plant you have grown in your yard or an unusual
looking dog you just adopted, consider adding a picture of it
to your blog.

You would be surprised at how much more traffic you can bring
to your site. People will be able to connect more with you
about the subject you are posting about. They will be able to
laugh with you at pictures you find funny and admire those that
you treasure. You will be maintaining a �friendship� through
your pictures with your readers.

If you want to add pictures to your blog, you might want to
consider investing in a digital camera, if you don�t already
have one. This will make putting the pictures onto your
computer a much easier task to begin with. After you master
this task, read the �help� information on your blogging
software to understand how you need to add the pictures to your
blog. Pay special attention to any size requirements or
suggestions. Some blogs will only allow a specific amount of
space for graphics, so you will need to be aware of that
amount.

Adding pictures to your blog is a great way to allow your blog
to be easily scanned and to keep the interest of your readers.
When you do use pictures you will see your improvements easily.
Your readers will return to see what you have to say and new
visitors will be interested and entertained. By connecting with
those who read your blog via pictures, you will be building
lasting relationships with your readers. Just be careful about
what types of pictures you add. You should not post someone on
your blog without their permission so if you are posting a
photo of someone you know, be sure to ask them first.
